In hospital in Oakland, CAL, lies
Joaquin Miller, THE Poet of the
Sierras." critically ill. He is II years
old, and there is said to be practically
no chance for his recovery.
Because of his talents, his works
and his mode of living, Miller may
rightly be called the Tolstoy of Ameri-
ca. Trained in law and journalism
he left active fields and has been Iiv-
ing a hermit's life among the Califor.
mia hills. With a Chinese servant as
his sole companion, the eccentric poet
carried on his literary work in his
cabin home. From him come such
poems as Songs of the Sierras," "The
Ship in the Desert" and Shadows of
Shasta" through all of which runs a
wild, but tender and beautiful strain
In addition to poetry. he has written
books and plays. But his fame lies
chiefly in his poetry.
Although born in Indiana, he has
lived in the West since he was 10
years old, going to Oregon with his
parents in 1852. He has led a wan
dering life. spending some time in the
Klondyke, in the Orient and in Eu-
rope. He has been messenger, lawyer.
Indian fighter. journalist and author.
