Project Report from the year 2001 in the subject English - Miscellaneous, grade: 1,0 (A), Dresden Technical University (Institute for Anglistics/American Studies), course: GLC 6 Project, 19 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: When I was a teenager I read several of those books written by Karl May that are set in the "Wild West."
