True Bear Stories

1900. Called the Poet of the Sierras and the Byron of the Rockies, Cincinnatus Hiner Miller alias Joaquin Miller was also termed a poseur and a farce during his careers as a 19th century lawyer, judge, pony express rider, newspaperman, teacher, cook, miner, conservationist and poet. Included in this book of stories is perhaps Miller's most interesting tale of A Bear on Fire, for I doubt you could put it down after reading the first couple sentences: It is now more than a quarter of a century since I saw the woods of Mount Shasta in flames, and beasts of all sorts, even serpents, crowded together; but I can never forget, never!Miller, Joaquin is the author of 'True Bear Stories', published 1988 under ISBN 9780809540518 and ISBN 0809540517.
