012 - The First Day

Max Brand, the renowned pseudonym of Frederick Schiller Faust (1892-1944), is celebrated for his captivating western fiction. Faust began his literary journey in the early 20th century, selling tales to pulp magazines and crafting stories across various genres under a multitude of pseudonyms. He is perhaps most famous for creating the iconic character Destry, whose adventures in Destry Rides Again have been immortalized on film, notably in the classic 1939 version featuring James Stewart and Marlene Dietrich. Additionally, his character Dr. Kildare gained immense popularity in both film and television, contributing significantly to his wealth. Fausts novel The Untamed, which introduces the legendary western hero Dan Barry, was adapted for the screen in 1920, showcasing Tom Mix. As a front-line war correspondent, Faust tragically lost his life from wounds sustained while accompanying American troops in Italy on May 12, 1944. In Trail-in (1919), we follow the thrilling journey of Anthony Bard, a young aristocrat from the East whose life is forever changed when he witnesses his fathers murder. This tragic event propels Anthony on a quest for vengeance that takes him to the untamed West. There, this tenderfoot, equipped with a fierce survival instinct, must confront a notorious outlaw—not through gunfire, but through an unexpected tale. Brave the elements, fend off a ruthless gang, and discover love in a classic western revenge story that comes with an intriguing twist. (summary by Rowdy Delaney)
