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.

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.
Karl Mays "Old Surehand"
"Old Surehand" ist ein paradigmatisches Werk des Ubergangs und der Wandlung Karl Mays. Vor dem Hintergrund der Entstehung bezeugt die Trilogie mit ihren fragwurdigen und ratselhaften Dissonanzen den seelischen Umbruch und die damit verbundenen Krisen des Autors. Der vorliegende Studienband berucksichtigt nahezu alle relevanten Interpretationsaspekte der Trilogie und bringt die Forschung zu diesem bislang oft vernachlassigten Roman ein gutes Stuck weiter."
The Oil Prince
For nearly a century, Karl May, the most-read German author of all time, ignited the imagination of European audiences with his action-packed "travel" fiction of the American West. Translated from German by Herbert Windolf, this volume continues the exploits of Old Shatterhand, an incomparable German-born frontiersman, his noble Apache blood brother, Chief Winnetou, and their frontier friends. The story is set in the late 1860s in Old Arizona where danger abounds and survival is dependent on having the fastest draw and the sharpest wits. Ruthless villains, Indian tribes on the warpath, and a naive band of German immigrants all figure into this engaging Teutonic saga of the Wild West. Karl May's beloved novels have shaped a uniquely European version of the post-Civil War American West and have been adapted for the stage, movies, and even comic books.
