Joaquin Miller From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Joaquin Miller Joaquin Miller was the pen name of the colorful American poet, essayist and fabulist Cincinnatus Heine (or Hiner) Miller March 10 , or alternatively September 8 , or November 10 February 17 His parents were Hulen (sometimes “Hulings”) Miller and Margaret Witt who married January 3 in Union County Indiana . Most family researchers give his birth date as September 8 and his birthplace as Liberty, Union County, Indiana. The Miller family was probably of German extraction, and may have attended the Four Mile German Baptist, or Dunkard, Church in Union County, IN, where people named Miller, Witt, Fahl, and Petry (family names) were founding members. While a young boy, the Miller family moved to Oregon and settled in the Willamette Valley , establishing a farm in what would become Lane County . Accounts differ, giving the family’s move to Oregon as early as 1842, but it was probably between 1850 and 1852. 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

Student performance Meet the staff Who was Joaquin Miller? Who was Joaquin Miller? Joaquin Miller was a colorful figure who was well known in California literary and social circles. He spent his last years in Oakland, in a home on the road that is now Joaquin Miller Road. But his real name the name he was given at birth on Sept. 8, 1837 was Cincinnatus Hiner. The name "Joaquin" was adapted later from the legendary California bandit, Joaquin Murietta. Joaquin Miller's parents were Quakers. Miller's father was a magistrate in Indiana. In 1852, his parents relocated their family to Oregon, traveling with two heavily laden wagons, eight oxen yoked to each, a carriage and two horses. The three thousand mile trip took seven months and five days. The family settled in the Williamette Valley in Oregon where they established a home and farm. Miller, while still a boy, headed to California with another boy during the early Gold Rush. He worked in a number of mining camps. He reported that he was severely wounded in a battle between the settlers near Mt. Shasta and the Modoc Indian Tribe when an arrow pierced his face and exited the back of his neck. The arrow passed close to the base of his brain. Although he eventually recovered from the wound, he suffered both physical and mental effects of the injury for at least a year. He later had little recollection of that period of time. He survived other battles with Northern California Indian groups, and had several altercations with the law over matters relating to the ownership of livestock and gun play.

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.

Taking poetic license to heart, Miller was inventive about every aspect of his life including his name, age, and where he was born. However, 25 years after his death, his secret "California Diary" was unearthed, revealing that many of his unusual experiences were products of his lively imagination. Fellow litterateur, Ambrose Bierce, called him "The greatest liar this country has ever produced." Miller, though, always explained: "I'm not a liar. I simply exaggerate the truth." Claiming to be born in "a covered wagon pointed west," Miller was actually born near Liberty, Indiana in September 1837. He was named after the city of Cincinnati and not the Roman statesman. His middle name, which he often changed to Heine to gain a "poetic association" with the famed German poet, came from the doctor who delivered him. And from his early thirties on, he was always five years younger than his real age, a chronological change he made to improve both his poetic and sex image.

Miller School, a California Distinguished School, is situated in the City of Burbank, a few miles north of the Los Angeles Civic Center. Burbank is a community of 100,000 residents which has undergone a dramatic change in its economy and in the make-up of its population. The economy has improved because of the growth of the television and entertainment industry in the city and the immigrant population has expanded rapidly. As a result, many areas of the city have become very diverse and multi-ethnic. Miller Elementary School reflects these changes in the City of Burbank, perhaps more than any other elementary school in the Burbank Unified School District. Currently the student population of 887 Kindergarten through Grade 5 students is 22% Hispanic, 4% African American, 9% Asian, 5% Filipino, and 60% White. Our language census shows an even greater diversity. In March 2003, 620 or 69% of the students spoke another language in addition to English. Armenian, Spanish, Tagalog, Korean, and Arabic were the highest in number of the 21 languages listed as being spoken by students in addition to English. A large number, 69% of the 620 students (46% of the total school population) are designated as Limited English Proficient and are still in English Language Development programs learning to speak, read, and write in English. We welcome and embrace the broad cultural and ethnic diversity and feel that it is strength of our school. While pursuing academic excellence, Joaquin Miller Elementary School has a high regard for respecting and preserving the traditions of all cultures as well as an emphasis on identifying and fostering common values that unite all people. We believe that our students are benefiting from this rich and varied learning environment.

13. JOAQUIN MILLER PARK In The Oakland Hills. mountain biking in oakland s urban redwood forest. a recent proposal to ban bikes from the park has rekindled the ageold dispute over equal access. http://www.oaklandparks.com/

Situated in the Oakland Hills, Joaquin Miller Park contains one of the only Urban Second Growth Redwood Groves in existence. Since the Save the Redwoods League donated the Redwood Grove to the city of Oakland in 1928, it has been extensively used by a multitude of user groups including: Scouts, picnickers, hikers, motorcyclists, day campers, bird watchers, naturalists, bicyclists, dog-walkers and joggers. Still, despite being held hostage by its geographical location right at the edge of an urban area that now includes over six million people, the park retains much of its natural beauty, health, vitality, and majesty. Unfortunately a recent proposal to ban bikes from the park has rekindled the age-old dispute over equal access. Take a photo tour of the park, learn more about the challenges that all Open Spaces face, and commit yourselves to helping alleviate stresses on this magnificent recreational resource.

18. Joaquin Miller: Poems 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 http://www.poetry-archive.com/m/miller_joaquin.html

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.

19. Joaquin Miller 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 http://www.cateweb.org/CA_Authors/miller.html

Joaquin Miller by Janice Albert 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." This statue of the Poet of the Sierras is in Oakland's Joaquin Miller Park 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.
