25. Joaquin Miller The Wild West in Piccadilly Joaquin Miller and the Performance of Place. Miller had his second collection of poems, Joaquin Et. http://www.traverse.com/people/dot/miller_london.html

LOCAL COLOR 19th-century Regional Writing in the United States The Wild West in Piccadilly: Joaquin Miller and the Performance of Place Born on the long trail to Oregon, Joaquin (Cincinnatus Hiner) Miller spent his childhood and youth in the Pacific Northwest, one of the wildest remaining parts of the country at that time. Like Bret Harte and Mark Twain, he briefly tried a number of different jobs, including a stint riding the pony express, an interval as a teacher, some time with the Indians of the Pitt River tribe (during which time he was rumored to have married a Native American woman and fathered a daughter). Finally, he spent a short period of time studying law before settling temporarily in Eugene, Oregon where he took up the editorship of a local paper and devoted himself to writing poetryhis first love throughout life. In 1863, he and his new wife, the poet Minnie Myrtle (Theresa Dyer), honeymooned in San Francisco, hoping to break into the literary scene and remain permanently. They both were successful at placing some of their verse in the teaming journals of the Bay Area, but it is not likely that they were paid for any of their efforts. In fact, Col. Joseph Lawrence, owner-editor of the Golden Era , far from encouraging Miller, actively discouraged any further attempts; of Miller's poem "Oregon," he said that its rhymes were "as suggestively simple as a schoolboy's," and recommended that their author "cease wooing the muses and return to Oregon to grow 'taters.'"

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."

Some Scenes from the BAOC event at Joaquin Miller Park November 3, 1998 Featuring the JMP modified Motala and taping of the TV program Bay Area Backroads Originally broadcast on KRON-TV on Sunday, November 29 at 6:00 pm and midnight. (Backroads ruruns are shown on BayTV a few months later.) To see a Real Audio version (the sound track with limited video): http://www.bayareabackroads.com The story in text Host Doug McConnell, producer Michael Rosenthal and cameraman Jack Uhalde "All you need is a map, a compass and a sense of adventure" The event was organized to show some of the wide range of appeal orienteering offers. Central was the "Oakland" version of the Motala, a very short sprint of three loops with three seeded runners in each heat running head-to-head, fast running in close quarters with spectators and the cameras following the action. At the other end of the spectrum were the White and Yellow courses to show it is a sport for almost anyone. James Scarborough and Bruce Wolfe have been orienteering at Joaquin Miller Park all their orienteeing lives. So they had a "match" of their own over the "Motala" course, James running very early to get back to a GIS conference at Cal and Bruce showing everyone how it is done just before the official starts. (Indicated time is PST.)

28. Joaquin Miller: Man & Park Joaquin Miller Park, Jewel of the Oakland Hills. The serene and woodsy atmosphere and stunning views make Joaquin Miller Park one of Oakland’s treasures. http://www.woodminster.com/Webpages/JMPark/JoaquinMiller.html

Woodminster: Oakland’s "Cathedral in the Woods" The word "woodminster" literally means "cathedral in the woods." High in the Oakland Hills, with sweeping views of the San Francisco Bay and surrounding cities, is the beautiful 500-acre Joaquin Miller Park. The Park is home to one of the only urban second-growth redwood groves in existence, as well as miles of trails, picnic grounds, and a WPA-era art deco construction that includes pools, cascades, and the Woodminster Amphitheater. Designed by a team headed by Oakland Park Superintendent William Mott Jr and built as a WPA project, Woodminster Amphitheater and Cascades were dedicated in 1940 as a memorial to California writers. The trees and other vegetation along the Cascades, planted by horticulturist and design team member Lionel Sprattling, are designated Writers Memorial Grove, and individual plantings are dedicated to California’s great authors, including Joaquin Miller as well as Bret Harte, Jack London, Mark Twain, Dashiell Hammet, Ina Coolbrith, and many others. This is a fitting tribute, since so many of them visited this spot when "Poet of the Sierras" Joaquin Miller owned this land which he called "The Hights," spelling intentional.

29. Joaquin Miller: Man & Park Joaquin Miller The SelfInvented Man. Joaquin Miller, Byron of the Rockies. Some of the many internet resources about Joaquin Miller http://www.woodminster.com/Webpages/Joaquin.html

Joaquin Miller The Self-Invented Man It is difficult to sort out the fact from the fiction in the life of Joaquin Miller, born Cincinnatus Hiner Miller in Indiana in 1837, not in a covered wagon in 1842 as he always claimed. Ambrose Bierce called him "the greatest liar this country has ever produced," and in fact his autobiography is classified as fiction in libraries. It was Oakland’s famous librarian and California’s first poet laureate Ina Coolbrith who told him if he wanted to be a successful poet he had to have a more romantic presentation. She encouraged him to change his name to Joaquin, grow his hair long, dress in buckskins, and adopt the persona of the Wild West. In this character, he traveled to Europe and was a sensation at London parties with his sombrero, polka dot bandana, and high-heeled boots, handing out calling cards that read "Joaquin Miller, Byron of the Rockies."

POEMS BY JOAQUIN MILLER: Byron Sea-Blown The Yukon MILLER, JOAQUIN . Born in Wabash District, Indiana, November 10, 1841; died at "The Heights," above San Francisco, California, 1913. The picturesque career of Joaquin Miller surpasses any romance that came from his hand. When a lad he tramped from his home in Oregon to the Sacramento Valley where gold fields were being opened and did whatever he could turn his hand to about the camps. He lived familiarly with the Indians and passed through many adventures in returning to his home in Oregon. Here he studied law, which he practiced for some time in Canyon City, and became a judge of Grant County. In 1870 he went to London with the manuscript of "Songs of the Sierras." Here he met Browning Arnold , and other poets of the period and created a sensation in conventional London by his romantic personality. After his return to America he spent some time in journalistic work in Washington, D.C., but left it for California where he established himself in a beautiful home on "The Heights" above the Golden Gate. Save for occasional excursions, such as his trip to the Klondike, his remaining years were spent at this home. Joaquin Miller had great power to invoke the wild and majestic aspects of nature, and while he was often the victim of his facility, at his best he was a poet of rare gifts and unexcelled in his field as the interpreter of Wester life and landscape.

THE YUKON by: Joaquin Miller (1841-1913) HE moon resumed all heaven now, She shepherded the stars below Along her wide, white steeps of snow, Nor stooped nor rested, where or how. She bared her full white breast, she dared The sun e'er show his face again. She seemed to know no change, she kept Carousal constantly, nor slept, Nor turned aside a breath, nor spared The fearful meaning, the mad pain, The weary eyes, the poor dazed brain, That came at last to feel, to see The dread, dead touch of lunacy. How loud the silence! Oh, how loud! How more than beautiful the shroud Of dead Light in the moon-mad north When great torch-tipping stars stand forth Above the black, slow-moving pall As at some fearful funeral! The moon blares as mad trumpets blare To marshaled warriors long and loud; The cobalt blue knows not a cloud, But oh, beware that moon, beware Her ghostly, graveyard, moon-mad stare! Beware white silence more than white! Beware the five-horned starry rune; Beware the groaning gorge below; Beware the wide, white world of snow

Give us a holler Joaquin Miller , born 1837 Joaquin Miller was known as a "character" in his day, and today his reputation is not much better. 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 subject to much criticism, he helped create some of the enduring Old West myths. When Miller couldn't find success in America, he took his show on the road to Britain and became the popular "Poet of the Sierras." It's said that he inspired Buffalo Bill's career. Miller has been called a "poseur" and "a vulgar fraud" and worse, and Bret Harte refused to publish any of his poems in his Overland Express Still, at one time his poem Columbus was known by every school child. We've included one of his poems (a love poem to one of his wives) and some links to other folks' sites that tell more about this colorful writer from our past.

Among many great things about this park is the fact that mountain biking is permitted on most singletrack trails, and mountain bikers are not treated like pond scum (as they unfortunately are in many other Bay Area open spaces). The bad thing is that a few reckless mountain bikers do tend to abuse the privilege by riding off legal trails, threatening to lose us all the privilege of riding there. We law-abiding cyclists are in the process of concerted efforts to bring those renegades in line through an information campaign (headed up by the Bicycle Trail Council of the East Bay, whose web site can be viewed at www.btceastbay.org ). If that fails, we will be forced to kick their butts! Meanwhile, we are still enjoying the park's multi-use approach, where most hikers, cyclists, joggers, dogs and other users tend to get along just fine. home cross-country trek francophilia night ... washington, d.c.
