“’This was in 1865 . . . . C. H. Miller had been elected county judge. He had been an express messenger, a miner, had tried his hand at running a
newspaper, had lived with the Indians, and when I knew him first, he was a devoted admirer of Byron. He tried to imitate Byron in every way, even to limping like Byron. I was his unwilling victim. He was constantly writing poetry and coming into my office to read it to me. He was a picturesque character for he wore his hair long and wore high boots, tucking the trousers in one boot and letting the other trouser leg cover the boot. He was really a pretty able lawyer and a very genial man, but I wasn’t crazy about his poetry. He sent his verses to the Times-Mountaineer at The Dalles, publishing it under the name of John Smith, Jr. Later he ran a good deal of his verse in the Blue Mountain Eagle at Canyon City under his own name of C. H. Miller. Still later he adopted the name of Joaquin Miller, and when he went to England, his picturesque attire, and his western manners made a big hit. His wife, Minnie Myrtle Miller, to my mind, was a better poet than her husband, but her verse has never been published except in newspaper form.’” [MCK]

Commenting on Weirick and Sherman’s evaluation of Miller, Hutchinson
writes:
“One finds it difficult to understand even the qualified praise
which Weirick and Sherman alike give to Miller. That the ‘Poet of the Sierras’ was for a time, and in Europe rather than here, the ‘Big
Bow-wow’ of American pseudo-epic versifying, is true. But . . . I see a dog of quite a different color and of somewhat doubtful breed. On the other hand, of course - and this only fair - Miller was striving to give expression to a phase of America that came under his eye; and for this, despite the transparency of his lines, and their futility, he is worth a momentary glance of recognition. That Miller exerted no influence whatever, either on his contemporaries or his successors, is obvious. On the other hand, Weirick’s dictum that Miller ‘is the greatest poet the West has yet produced’ will stand if by ‘West’ is meant the Pacific Coast”
