Die Eisenbahngesellschaft "Great Western Railroad" schickt Old Shatterhand aus Deutschland in den Wilden Westen, um dort zu verhindern, dass die Linie entgegen der Vereinbarungen mit den Indianern mitten durch das Gebiet der Apachen gebaut wird. Der Bauleiter Bill Jones hat diese Bauplanänderung auf Betreiben des Ganoven Santer vorgenommen, da sie durch die nun kürzere Strecke einiges an Baukosten sparen und das Geld in die eigene Tasche stecken wollen. Allerdings wollen Santer und seine Leute noch mehr: Sie wollen das Gold der Apachen und haben dafür die Kiowas als Verbündete gewonnen. Doch schon im ersten Gefecht schlägt Old Shatterhand - wie ihn der allgegenwärtige Sam Hawkins tauft - die Kiowas in die Flucht. Daraufhin greift Santer mit seinen Leuten die Apachen an, die ihr Gebiet verteidigen wollen. Im Kampf fällt Klekih-petra, der große weiße Lehrmeister der Apachen. Für Winnetou, den Sohn des Apachen-Häuptlings Intschu-tschuna ist das Kampfansage genug: Er lässt Old Shatterhand und seine Freunde gefangen nehmen und an den Marterpfahl binden. Bevor er getötet werden soll, will Winnetou jedoch ein Gottesurteil herbeiführen: Wenn Shatterhand es schafft, mit einem Kanu den Fluss hinaufzufahren und einen bestimmten Pfahl zu erreichen, soll er frei sein. Das "Greenhorn" nimmt die Herausforderung an...

Karl May's most popular work originally published in 1892 and influenced by Harriet Beecher Stowe, Winnetou is the story of a young Apache chief told by his white friend and blood-brother Old Shatterhand. The action takes place in the U.S. Southwest, in the latter half of the 1800s, where the Indian way of life is threatened by the first transcontinental railroad. Winnetou, the only Native Indian chief who could have united the various rival tribes to reach a settlement with the whites, is murdered. His tragic death foreshadows the death of his people. May's central theme here, as in much of his work, is the relationship between aggression, racism, and religious intolerance.

Winnetou, the chief of the Apache, is a legend in many countries. This book contains Karl May's whole Winnetou Trilogy. Charlie, the young German immigrant, arrives to the Wild West, and soon becomes Old Shatterhand, the hero, who can knock out any enemy with a single blow, a warrior, who kills only when he has no other choice. He becomes Winnetou's blood brother, and the death-daring adventures start, even though he had already hunted bison, caught mustangs, killed a grizzly, and found himself in the war between the Apache and Kiowa. He teams up with Old Death against the Ku-Klux-Klan, and bandits who are preparing an attack on a silver mine. He defends trains against Indian attacks enticed by the white villains, helps out Old Firehand against a Ponca raid, defeats the bandits of the Llano Estacado with Sans-ear, the hunter, and attempts to recover the treasure of the Apache. In his quest for adventure, Old Shatterhand never forgets his desire to help the Native Americans. This unabridged English translation retains the exciting adventures, and the strong moral conviction of May's original book, while modernising the style, and editing parts that were erroneous or may evoke bad associations. With this editing the core of May's world, the action, the dreaming of heroic deeds, and the struggle for a kind of justice have become more emphasised, and more accessible to the modern reader.
