...shrewd, dynamic businessman, was the son of a Yankee-born Atlanta capitalist. In their junior year, they published a 5? guide to the Chicago World's Fair, written and illustrated by Stone. It netted $600. Before graduation they had published books by Hamlin Garland, Eugene Field, Joaquin Miller George Santayana. In 1894 they moved to Chicago. Their house organ was a little magazine called The Chap-Book dedicated to "all that is most modern and aggressive in the Young Man's literature." Within the next few years they had introduced to U.

From San Francisco editors Poet Miller got rejection slips until his famous junket to England. Armed with a laurel wreath...
...frustration, Poet Miller went back to the frontier, settled on a pleasant 100-acre Oakland hilltop, where he erected statues of Frémont, Moses, Browning, charmed club women with demonstrations of rainmaking, which consisted of chanting gibberish and turning on a concealed sprinkler on the roof. In general Joaquin Miller's career suggests that of the whole caboodle; he was perhaps the only one who really belonged there...
