We are now trying to release all our books one month in advance of the official release dates, for time for better editing.

Please note: neither this list nor its contents are final till midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement. The official release date of all Project Gutenberg Etexts is at Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month. A preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment and editing by those who wish to do so. To be sure you have an up to date first edition [xxxxx10x.xxx] please check file sizes in the first week of the next month. Since our ftp program has a bug in it that scrambles the date [tried to fix and failed] a look at the file size will have to do, but we will try to see a new copy has at least one byte more or less.

Information about Project Gutenberg (one page)

We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work. The fifty hours is one conservative estimate for how long it we take to get any etext selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc. This projected audience is one hundred million readers. If our value per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2 million dollars per hour this year as we release thirty-two text files per month, or 384 more Etexts in 1998 for a total of 1500+ If these reach just 10% of the computerized population, then the total should reach over 150 billion Etexts given away.

The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away One Trillion Etext Files by the December 31, 2001. [10,000 x 100,000,000=Trillion] This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers, which is only 10% of the present number of computer users. 2001 should have at least twice as many computer users as that, so it will require us reaching less than 5% of the users in 2001.

We need your donations more than ever!

Frau und Kindern auf der Spur Gerold K. Rohner September 1995

"Na, hübsche zwei Töchter habt ihr hier--und selbst seid ihr auch nicht so schlecht", hetzte er mit heiserer Stimme. Ein grosser, starker aber hässlicher Bursche war er. Dabei wäre er gar nicht so hässlich gewesen, mit seinen grossen blauen Augen, aber sein verdorbener Charakter schien durch sein Gesicht.

"Kann ich eine der beiden für ein Stündchen mieten, Madam? Sicher hätten sie nichts dagegen--oder wär es ihnen lieber ich fäng ein Streitchen an mit ihrem Jungen da und tötete ihn im Duell?"

Das war eine arge Drohung, ging mir durch den Kopf. Da musste die arme Frau zwischen dem Regen und der Traufe wählen. Sie war kaum im Stande ihre drei Kinder gegen diesen Bullen zu verteidigen. Ich sass in der Bar im "Whisky Barrel" Saloon in Santa Fe und dachte : Warum kommen Prüfungen immer dann, wenn man noch nicht fuer sie bereit ist? Ja, ich war schneller als nur noch vor einigen Wochen, aber ich war noch lange nicht schnell genug.

Der arge Bursche hob ein Bein auf den einzigen leeren Stuhl am Tisch. Der Tisch war an der Wand und war besetzt von der wunderhübschen Frau mit den drei Kindern, die ihr zwar nicht glichen, aber ihre eigenen waren. Der Älteste, der Junge, sah etwa zwanzig aus, war jedoch jünger. Er war gross und mager gewachsen. Die Mädchen waren sechzehn und dreizehn, noch hübscher als die Frau. Sie waren spindeldürr, blond, sehr hellhäutig, mit blauen Augen. Sie waren fast wie Männer gekleidet, auch die Frau. Sie sahen sehr zart aus, waren aber sehr lebendig und schienen guten Humors zu sein. Doch jetzt, seit dieser Bursche an ihren Tisch getreten war, hatte sich ihre Laune schnell geändert. Sie sahen plötzlich ängstlich aus, als ob dies nicht das erste Mal wäre, an dem sie belästigt wurden.

Ich wusste, ich musste helfen, aber ich wollte sie nicht in grössere Gefahr bringen durch unüberlegtes Handeln. Mal abwarten! Das musste ich sowieso. Noch war nichts geschehen das mein Eingreifen gerechtfertigt hätte. So oder so, Santa Fe hatte sicher einen Sheriff. Der Bursche konnte also den Jungen nicht einfach niederschiessen solange sich dieser nicht provozieren liess, sonst würde der Bursche des Mordes beschuldigt und vom Sheriff in Haft genommen. Das wollte er sicher nicht. Griff der Junge aber zum Colt, dann könnte ihn der Bursche niederschiessen in sogenannter Selbstverteidigung.

Ich hoffte der Junge würde die Nerven nicht verlieren. Er sah nicht gerade glücklich aus im Moment--hatte sich aber wohl gehütet seine Hände auch nur in die Nähe seines Revolvers zu bringen.

"Lass meine Gäste in Ruhe", bruellte der riesenhafte Wirt. Der musste mindestens drei hundert Pfund wiegen. In seinem schwarzen Leder-Gilet sah er mehr wie ein Henker aus als wie ein Schenker. Er war hinter der Bar hervorgetreten und schwenkte seine Arme in veritabler Drohung.

"Weisst du mit wem du sprichst, Buffalo. Ich bin Billy Kane, Steckbriefjägerlein Numero Uno hierzulande. Mit mir hat's noch keiner aufgenommen. Und das dort ist mein Dienerchen--Juan. Er schiesst fast so schnell wie ich. So lass uns in Ruhe, Buffalo, sonst schiessen wir ein paar Löchlein durch deinen Pelz, so dass das Fett nur so raussprudelt." Darauf hin lachte die ganze Runde im Saloon.
