Hermesmeier-Schmatz NA 1.3: "Um während der dreißigjährigen Schutzfrist eine planmäßige und vornehme Verwertung von Karl Mays Urheberrechten sicherzustellen, wurde ein eigener 'Karl-May-Verlag' gegründet. Die sämtlichen unseligen Prozesse, in die sich der alte Mann hatte verwickeln lassen, sind in der Zwischenzeit beendet worden. Damit ergibt sich die Möglichkeit, die Selbstbiographie noch weiter zu kürzen, und vieles, was heute unwesentlich geworden ist, zu streichen" (E.

Plaul 583: Zweite und umfangreichste Ausgabe mit dem Anhang "Karl Mays letzter Vortrag", den er 8 Tage vor seinem Tod, in Wien gehalten hatte. "Anfang September 1912 wurde die Weiterverbreitung des Buches infolge einer einstweiligen Verfügung des Landgerichts Dresden verboten, die jedoch am 17. 12. 1912 wieder aufgehoben wurde." May wrote many books about the American frontier and Native Americans featuring the fictional characters Winnetou (a Mescalero-Apache Chief) and Old Shatterhand (a white European settler). Mays' books were popular in Germany and created a mystique about the "Wild West" in German popular culture. Karl May Museum in Radebeul, Germany is located near Dresden in Villa Shatterhand, May's Italian Renaissance home, containing artifacts from May's life as well as from life on the American frontier and Native American life of that era.
