About this person

Charles Sealsfield was the pseudonym of Austrian-American novelist and journalist Carolus Magnus Postl, an advocate for a German democracy. He lived in the United States from 1822 to 1826, and then again in 1828/1829. During a final stay from 1853 to 1858 he became a U.S. citizen. Sealsfield is best known for his German-language Romantic novels with American backgrounds, his travelogues, and for not revealing his identity until after his death, in his will. He returned to Europe about 1829, living in Paris and London before settling in Switzerland in 1832, where he resided for most of the rest of his life.
