The Poet's Cabin: Joaquin Miller in Washington Kathi Morrison-Taylor photo credit: Library of Congress You arrive in the Arlington Heights neighborhood (where Meridian Hill Park is today) and sure enough, you see a cabin under a circle of oak trees. Someone has hung elk skins and bows and arrows on the outside, which is otherwise unadorned and unpainted, the bark from the logs, peeling. As you wade through the tall grass on your way to the front door, you notice a man in the entry way, watching you approach. He stands statuesque with a bear skin over one shoulder, the same bearskin, he will later assure you, that has been handled and admired by Queen Victoria Princess Alexandria , and the Shah of Persia (Marberry 178-80). Entering, you are intrigued, and he, though a self-professed hermit, heartily enjoys the attention and company. His wardrobe captures your imagination. ( he asks.) His voice is mesmerizing. He tells you of his life among the Modocs in California and the Indian wars, when a near-fatal arrow pierced his jaw. In the next breath, he tells you of his travels to England and introductions to

Joaquin Miller A Chronology Schoolteacher Hulings Miller meets, courts, and marries Margaret DeWitt. September 8. Birth of Cincinnatus Hiner Miller near Liberty, Indiana.

Hulings Miller sells his farm to the same man he bought it from. Hulings Miller sets out with his family for the Oregon Territory. They arrive in October and settle near Coburg. Joaquin/Hiner will later write of the epidemic-ridden route: "There was but one graveyard that hot, dusty, dreadful year of 1852 and that graveyard reached from the Missouri to the Columbia." After accidentally breaking the leg of a neighbor's cow by pushing boulders down a hill, C. Hiner Miller and his friend Will Willoughby bolt for the California gold fields.

Literature Joaquin Miller While goldmining in the 1850s, Joaquin Miller spent a few years in the Mount Shasta area. His subsequent writings offer a vibrant portrayal of our early mining camps, the interactions between the whites and Native Americans, the beauty of the mountain, and the rich game to be found locally. Of course, just how much fact he mixed with fiction is open to question. Referring to Miller's Life Amongst the Modocs , Wells' 1881 History of Siskiyou County complains that Miller has taken all the leading events of Northern California, most of which happened long before he appeared there, made himself the central figure, distorted the facts, and given them to the world as a truthful account of the dealings of the white men with the Indians. Whether literally true, true only in spirit, or even a mix of imagination and observation, his work is often inspiring and always worth reading. Miller's Life Amongst the Modocs: Unwritten History would, as Miesse points out, perhaps be better named "Life Amongst the Wintu," or "Life Amongst the Shasta." Still, the work includes two chapters that concern the mountain: Chapter 1, " Shadows of Shasta ," and Chapter 19, " The Indians' Account of the Creation While most of Miller's local writings remain centered on the local Native Americans, Miller was also quite capable of discussing the wealth of local game.

Give us a holler Joaquin Miller (1837-1913), born Cincinnatus Hiner Miller, was known as a character in his day, and time has not necessarily improved his reputation. But, he was an early western figure who influenced many of his time and those who came after. While his life and his writings have been the subject of much criticism, he helped create some of the enduring Old West myths. A Wikipedia article states, "Miller's exploits included a variety of occupations, including mining-camp cook (who came down with scurvy from only eating what he cooked), lawyer and a judge, newspaper writer, Pony Express rider, and horse thief. As a young man, he moved to northern California during the California Gold Rush years, and had a variety of adventures, including spending a year living in a Native American village, and being wounded in a battle with Native Americans. A number of his popular works, Life Amongst the Modocs, An Elk Hunt, and The Battle of Castle Crags, draw on these experiences. He was wounded in the cheek and neck with an arrow during this latter battle, recuperating at the Gold Rush-era mining town of Portuguese Flat."

31. CATE This statue of the Poet of the Sierras is in Oakland's Joaquin Miller Park http://www.cateweb.org/CA_Authors/miller.html

California Authors Joaquin Miller by Janice Albert This statue of the Poet of the Sierras is in Oakland's Joaquin Miller Park Time works on literary reputation in such a way that, when the glacier of critical opinion is past, only El Capitan remains, splendidly removed from the fragmented shards and rubble ground to gravel underfoot. The agency of chance in creating El Capitan is forgotten. If the remaining knobs and knolls could speak of their own hopes and dreams, we would smile gently at their pretension. "You, too, aspired to greatness? Oh, puleeze." These were my thoughts upon visiting the park located off Joaquin Miller Drive, a park which bears Miller's name, which includes his "Frémont Ranch," and which contains seven monuments left by the Poet of the Sierras. The shapes themselves-triangle, circle, square-suggest a child's basic play set. His house remains, The Abby, California Historical Landmark no. 107, along with a "Sanctuary to Memory," where he stored his mementos and where his grieving daughter Juanita created a replica of her father lying in bed as he had during the last days of his life, surrounded by his boots and other memorabilia. In this vicinity is a statue of himself seated rather woodenly on a horse. This is the only monument not of his own design. The work of Kisa Beeck, it was commissioned by Juanita to mark the spot where her grandmother's cottage once stood. The seventh monument is a massive stone stage, approached by three broad steps. On this elevated platform, Miller wished to be cremated in an open funeral pyre in the manner of the Native Americans he so admired.

JOAQUIN MILLER RETURNS TO CANYON CITY - SUMMER OF 1907 An article by C.G. McIntosh, teacher, tells of being with Joaquin Miller on his return to visit Canyon City in the summer of 1907. "If that is my cabin, I did a good job of putting on the shingles. But I should not have recognized it. Those trees are not as I planted them. There is a shirt on the line too which I know is not mine. I never had but one in those dear old days." And then, Joaquin Miller, the Sweet Singer of the Sierras, took the photograph which he was examining into a stronger light, swept the silvery lock that dangled lower over his shoulder, adjusted his eye glasses and with his index finger, located the lines of the lowlying hills which surrounded the cabin of his early home. A look of intense earnestness - or was it something more - shown in his face as he continued. "Yes, it's all changed here beyond recognition, but the contour of the hills seem the same forever more. This (pointing to the cabin) is my work! This, (indicating the sweep of the hills) is God's." And with a supreme reverence that thrilled speaker and hearers alike, murmured, "Holy, Holy Hills." It is given to many men to love nature, but few could interpret her secrets as did Joaquin Miller! "See where the eternal forces are ceaselessly at work repairing the devastation of man." He observed the large area of divided upland placer land. "Nature abhors a wound, and even an open scar. She slowly but surely softens and hides them by some of her magical art. The steeper edges of this cut are already smoothing out, and hardy grasses and brave blossoms are colonizing in the scant soil of the ruins. These hills are emblems of charity."

In the introduction to Volume One of JOAQUIN MILLER'S POEMS, published by Harr Wagner Publishing Co. in 1917 however, Miller wrote, "I see that my birthday is set down in some books for 1841, and in others for 1842. This comes from the loss of the Bible...Papa gave the former year, according to his recollection of the trivial event, while mother insisted on the latter, both giving the same day of the month....I was born in a covered wagon, I am told at or about the time it crossed the line dividing Indiana from Ohio." In a 1967 Biography by O.W. Frost, Twayne Publishers Inc, however, Miller's biographer establishes 1837 as the year of Millers birth. Frost also identifies Miller's covered wagon birth as a fabrication. The name Joaquin was adapted from the legendary California bandit, Joaquin Murietta. Joaquin Miller described his decision to adopt the name at the conclusion of the Poem "Joaquin Murietta," in Volume II of his collected works.

THE JOAQUIN MILLER CABIN POETRY SERIES In 1976 through the efforts of Jim Beall, the National Park Service gave the Word Works permission to use the Joaquin Miller Cabin located in Washington, DC's Rock Creek Park. Initially, Word Works poets gathered in the cabin for poetry workshops. By candle and fireplace light, the participants shared their work and provided criticism to each other. The reading series grew out of these early activities. Karren Alenier founded the Miller Cabin Poetry Series and ran programs there until 1983. Those years are documented in Whose Woods These Are , an anthology of poetry, anecdotes, and photos. In 2010, co-directors are Kathi Morrison-Taylor, Rosemary Winslow , and Deborah Ager . Each summer for eight weeks beginning in June, the program commences at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday night. Audience participation averages 20 to 60 people per night. A committee selects readers from a large pool of applicants. Both well-established authors and first time readers share the podium. Funding for the series comes from the audience who are asked by mail prior to the opening night for contributions to pay the poets. Purchase our book anthology
