Carl May's Life in the Wild West

Carl May is a young German kid who travels to the Old West to make his fortune. Three pages in, Carl gets into an argument and knocks out a man with a single punch. Everyone around him nicknames him Old Shatterhand,. That is the name he's known by for the rest of the books. He can beat up any guy with one punch. On his second day in the Wild West, he charges into a herd of monstrous buffalo on his horse. And also Carl May authoritatively insists that bears cannot climb.
