MILLER, JOAQUIN; EDITED AND WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY JOHN S RICHARDS.

Joaquin Miller: His California Diary Beginning in 1855 and Ending in 1857.

Seattle, Washington: Privately printed 1936. 1st Edition. Hardbound 8vo (about 9.5 inches tall) 106 pages. Description: From the title page: ''Edited, and with an introduction by John S Richards and now first published by Frank McCaffrey at his Dogwood Press in Seattle, 1936.'' This was limited to 700 copies; this copy is not numbered. In his introduction, John S Richards notes that due to the jumbled and contradictory nature of Miller's autobiographical writings, and to the dearth of information in contemporary records, even such works as the Dictionary of American Biography include errors. The material in this diary, first unearthed in 1912, ''does much to clear up these mistakes of long standing.'' The limited statement mentions that this was the first in a series of Western Americana to e designed and printed by Frank McCaffrey at his Dogwood Press. BINDING/CONDITION: pumpkin-tan cloth with a lightly impressed vignette; a two-inch long split to the cloth at the top of the front spine gutter, and two shorter tears at the bottom, otherwise Good+ condition; no slipcase.
