A Travel Narrative

The Treasure of Silver Lake

Marlies Bugmann

Two cousins ride through the Wild West to track down another cousin who has absconded with their inheritance-a sizeable fortune. One stormy night in the Rocky Mountains the two adventurers meet the famous blood brothers Old Shatterhand the frontiersman and Winnetou the Apache chief. During the night the adventure develops and they come face to face with Tokvi-Kava, a merciless Comanche chief. The cousins join Old Shatterhand and Winnetou on a ghostly night train ride to assist the railroaders in foiling the Comanche's attack on their camp. They are successful and soon the cousins and their newly found friends are on their way to Santa Fe in pursuit of the inheritance. But the Comanche are seeking revenge for their defeat. The Bonanza of Hoaka, located at the Estrecho de Cuarzo and said to contain immeasurable gold treasures, becomes the place for the final showdown between the marauding Comanche and the group of white prairiemen-but the Bonanza is not what it seems.

Black Mustang

The aged Karl May and his wife receive invitations from Indian friends and foes in America, to participate in the decision making on a monument to Winnetou. May steps into Old Shatterhand's shoes one last time, and when they arrive at the Indians' gravesites, Old Shatterhand excavates Winnetou's long-lost legacy. In the meantime two opposing groups of Indians are gathering at the proposed location of the monument. Covertly, a large group of enemy warriors approaches through an extensive cave complex to attack, but natural events intervene. A geological catastrophe provides for an unexpected turn of events.
