There was a guy back in the late 19th c. who wrote a set of young people's stories that captivated the culture the way stories about Paul Bunyan, Mark Twain, or Will Rogers captures ours. They're morality plays, of a sort. May wrote about "Savagely Cute" Winnetou and Old Shatterhand, a "studly" German immigrant cowboy. They kept these stories going up to today. They love them. They have reenactment societies. Its like a little cult- like medievalists.
The amazing thing is that the site for May's stories is the Llano Estacado, HERE, our house.
Here's a 1964 film clip:
