Winnetou, the Apache Knight

Jack Hildreth among the Indians

by Marion Ames Taggart

Copyright, 1898, by Benzinger Brothers.
This is an unauthorized translation of Karl May's novel "Winnetou I". The text was heavily abridged and edited by the translator. One major change is that Old Shatterhand's real name is Jack Hildreth instead of Charley, i.e. implicitly Karl May. Nevertheless we hope that this text will provide some insight into Karl May's books to non-German speaking readers.
