Modern edition of his "Cabin Book," first published in Zurich in 1841 & in the US in 1844, as "The Cabin Book, or Sketches of Life in Texas..." [Wright I-2327]. Like B. Traven a hundred years later, he escaped Europe on the run from the authorities and assumed the new identity of "Charles Sealsfield" (he was born Karl Anton Postl). Facinated by America & Mexico, he invented a new novel form - the ethnographic novel (again there seems to be a parallel with Traven).
