The editors reprint from Untitled Reminiscences: “[In the summer of 1873 Miller was] with us often . . . . He was something unique. He was struck with how little mere wealth amounted socially. He would say to me, ‘I’ll take you round to Lord ______’s if you care to go. Come and see my little lodging. I am living mostly on milk and honey. I’ll show you my saddle.’ I read that he sometimes dressed in Mexican style and rode swiftly about Hyde Park. He offered a wager to outdo anybody at rough riding. [W]ould break the other fellow’s neck if he could find rough enough country. He wore long hair and beard, and was one of the kindest, mildest mannered men I ever met . . . . We dropped in to Bentley’s, who was bringing out Miller’s ‘Life Amongst the Modocs[.]’ He said to me ‘It will be a great experience when your first book comes out.’” (Thompson, 87). (Salamo and Smith 377).
“Thompson recalled that ‘Lord Houghton evidently enjoyed Joaquin Miller, and as Clemens drawled along in his grumpy way I have seen Lord Houghton sit on the sofa and shake with laughter till the tears rolled down his face.” (Thompson, 94). (Salamo and Smith 378).

Throughout his long reign as a sovereign publisher, he retained his liking for writers of “reputation and talent,” sending Stephen Crane to the Greco-Turkish War, Ambrose Bierce to Washington, Mark Twain to London, Joaquin Miller to the Klondike Gold Rush, and Damon Runyon to the Kentucky Derby. The reach of Hearst’s imagination matched the scale of his ambition, and he never tired of dragooning his papers into the service of his political enthusiasms.” [MGK]
