Now you got me started. A quote from Wikipedia: "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre is a 1927 novel by the mysterious German-English bilingual author B. Traven, in which two penurious Americans of the 1920s join with an old-timer, in Mexico, to prospect for gold. "

So, my investigation led me even farther. B. Traven is an interesting character(s), as is demonstrated in this article.
