Cincinnatus Heine Miller.(September 8, 1837 February 17, 1913), better known by hispen nameJoaquin Miller, was anAmericanpoet, author, and frontiersman. He is nicknamed the "Poet of the Sierras" after theSierra Nevada, about which he wrote in hisSongs of the Sierras(1871). He accompaniedWilliam Walkeron the latter's 1855filibusteringexpedition to Nicaragua.[12][13]In the spring of 1857, Miller took part in an expedition against thePit River Tribeafter they killed a white man onPit River.[14]Years later, he claimed that he had sided with the Native Americans and was run out of town for it.[15]He was widely rumored to have married an Indian woman, possibly aWintuprincess who nursed him back to health after he was wounded by Modocs, and to have fathered with her a daughter named Cali-Shasta, or "Lily of the Shasta."[16]Although Miller soon left the area to pursue other adventures, in the 1870s he sought out Cali-Shasta, then in her teens, and took her to San Francisco to be educated by his friendIna Coolbrith.[17]Contemporaries believed that Miller's "Indian wife" was the woman later kidnapped byModocsand held in captivity for some years until rescued by a man named Jim Brock (whom she married), but when "Amanda Brock" died in 1909, Miller denied news reports describing his supposed romance with her. He credited her with saving his life, but said she had always been a platonic friend. (Wikipedia) First Edition with matching dates of 1897 on the title and copyright pages.

First U.S. edition. 5 x 7 inches, 299 pp. Printed cloth over boards. Hinges cracked, cloth mottled, wear and small losses to crown and foot of spine; a good copy only. With folded check laid in (see comments following). The check laid into this copy of Miller's best-known book represents an intriguing literary mystery. Made out to Miller and endorsed by him, it comes from the account of Allen Thorndike Rice (signed for Rice by his attorney), and features on the back, among various stamps and endorsements, the stamp of James Redpath.Charles Allen Thorndike Rice bought the North American Review in 1876, and remained its publisher and editor-in-chief until his death in 1889. He ran for Congress unsuccessfully in 1886, and in 1889 he was appointed Minister to Russia by President Benjamin Harrison, but he died in New York City before he could take up his post.James Redpath, crusading journalist and abolitionist, became managing editor of the North American Review in 1886, but appears to have begun his association with the magazine before that date. In several letters to Walt Whitman from October through December of 1885, for example, located in the Whitman papers of the Library of Congress, Redpath clearly is acting on Rice's behalf regarding a Whitman article on Lincoln intended for the Review. So it would seem logical to presume that Redpath's stamp on the check to Miller indicated similarly that it was compensation for contributions to the review (or "other of Mr. Rice's literary enterprises," as Redpath puts it in one of the letters to Whitman), however a search of the North American Review index for the decade 1880ñ89 turns up no mention of Miller.The check, dated December 15, 1885, is for the not-inconsiderable sum of sixty-five dollars (equivalent to roughly $1735 in current buying power), leaving one to wonder just what service Miller had rendered, and what Redpath's involvment might have been.Check partially separating at fold, but still intact.
