Die Flusspiraten des Mississippi

Meer over het boek

In the years before steam boats churned the mighty Mississippi, a gang of bandits establishes itself on one of the river's numerous islands. They spread terror throughout the region with their acts of robbery and murder, even operating a counterfeiting operation from their hideout. From there, they flood the western territories with their counterfeit banknotes. With the law powerless to intervene, the local inhabitants take matters into their own hands. They form a coalition of regulators and declare war against the river pirates. This work is a masterpiece of adventure literature from the author who inspired Karl May's stories.
