Maguire; in the “Western Poetry, 1850-1950” Columbus,… “Born in the Midwest and raised in Oregon, Joaquin Miller published first Specimens (1868) and then Joaquin et al (1869). They are now collector’s items only because of Miller’s flamboyant later career in England and California. Miller’s performances at Byron’s grave, in London literary salons, and on the Oakland “Hights” (as the poet spelled it) have been well documented; his contribution to western art is that he drew the first serious national and international attention to poets of the region.” by Tom Trusky; in “Western American Drama to 1960”…
“Joaquin Miller made a small fortune with his anti Mormon play The Danites in the Sierras (1877), although he wrote in a later preface to the work: ‘I have always been sorry I printed it, as it is unfair to the Mormons and the Chinese;’” by James H.
