Joaquin Miller, pseudonym of Cincinnatus Heine Miller (1839-1913)

He was an American poet who lived in gold-mining camps, later with Native Americans, and was in turn an express rider, an editor, and an Oregon judge. His first two volumes of poems, Specimens and Joaquin et al, contained energetic, rhetorical celebrations of frontier life. They brought him only local acclaim, but in England, where he went next, his colorful personality, his dramatic Western costume, and his Songs of the Sierras, made him famous as a frontier poet.
