These stories were written from 1887 to 1897 for the magazine Der Gute Kamerad.
Most of the stories are set in the Wild West, but Old Shatterhand is just a figure and not the first-person narrator as he is in the travel stories.
The best-known volume is Der Schatz im Silbersee.
In the broadest sense, the early works Im fernen Westen and Der Waldläufer belong in this category.

Der Sohn des Bärenjägers (1887, since 1890 within Die Helden des Westens)
Der Geist des Llano estakata (1888, since 1890 correctly titled as Der Geist des Llano estakado within Die Helden des Westens)
Kong-Kheou, das Ehrenwort (1888/89, since 1892 titled Der blaurote Methusalem)
Die Sklavenkarawane (1890)
Der Schatz im Silbersee (1891)
Das Vermächtnis des Inka (1892)
Der Oelprinz (1894, since 1905 titled as Der Ölprinz)
Der schwarze Mustang (1897)
