August Schumann

Friedrich August Gottlob Schumann was a German bookseller and publisher. His best-known work is the 18-volume Lexicon of Saxony, which was completed after his death by Albert Schiffner. He wrote Junker Kurt von Krötenstein's verliebte Heldenfahrt under the pen name of Legaillard.

Childhood
Schumann was born on 2 March 1773, as the oldest of 6 siblings, to the couple Johann Friedrich Schumann and Christiane Magdalena Bohme. The father worked as a pastor in Endschutz, and had little money around; due to this August Schumann was unable to achieve higher education. ==Marriage and family==
