"SILVERTIP" was what men called him, since the other names he chose to wear were as shifting as the sands of the desert; but he was more like a great stag than a grizzly. For he was built heavy to the waist; below, he was as slender as any swift-running deer. Yet the nickname was no accident. Above his young face, high up in the hair over his temples, appeared two tufts of gray that at times and in certain lights had the look of small horns. For this reason the Mexicans were apt to call him "El Diablo," but Americans knew him as Silvertip, which they shortened often to Silver, or Tip.

Autorenporträt
Max Brand, the pen name of Frederick Schiller Faust (1892–1944), was an American author known for his prolific output in the Western genre. Born in Seattle, Washington, Faust initially embarked on a career in poetry before finding his niche in the action-packed world of Westerns. 'Silvertip' is one of his many novels that enthrall readers with the adventurous tales of the Wild West. Brand's writing is characterized by a blend of fast-paced narratives and well-crafted characters, often set against the backdrop of the rugged frontier landscape. His work in the genre helped define the literary portrayal of the American West during the early 20th century. In addition to Westerns, Brand also wrote in other genres, including historical novels, detective stories, and even some science fiction. Yet, it is his Westerns that have indelibly shaped his literary legacy. Prolific and popular, Max Brand's legacy continues through a bibliography that includes over 500 novels and numerous short stories, resonating with a spirit of adventure that captures the essence of the American frontier and the imaginations of readers around the globe.
