On pages 60 and 61 is a reprint of a Whitman letter dated January 30, 1872. In the letter Whitman writes: “’I received some three months since a generous, impulsive, affectionate letter from Joaquin Miller. I hear he is now in faroff Oregon, amid the grand scenery there, studying and writing. I saw in the papers that he was writing a play.’”

On pages 430 and 431 Traubel quotes from an interview with Whitman:
“’It occurs to me we have so far not had one American play - not one. The nearest approach to it is Joaquin Miller’s Danites, which is pretty fair, but after all only an approach.’ ‘He is a warm, enthusiastic fellow - quite friendly to me. Oh yes! I have met him - can say I like him: but I do not think him a writer of the first class - even as nearing the first class. He is a queer one: his career has been wild, free: he often has necessities: is forced to write: to make fifty or a hundred dollars: does so: is not particular then as to the means - as to what it is he writes. I think he is now in California again: he is a creature of forests, mining regions, Injuns’ - here W. reflected: ‘I’m not so certain about the Injuns, but of the rest, yes.’”
