"Cincinnatus Heine Miller (September 8, 1837 – February 17, 1913), better known by his pen name Joaquin Miller, was an American poet, author, and frontiersman. He is nicknamed the "Poet of the Sierras" after the Sierra Nevada, about which he wrote in his Songs of the Sierras (1871)."(Submitted on July 27, 2023, by Joseph Alvarado of Livermore, California.)
2. Joaquin Miller, the Man. Friends of Joaquin Miller Park
"Joaquin Miller Park is named for one of the late 19th century’s more colorful figures, Cincinnatus Hiner (“Joaquin”) Miller. Born in Indiana in 1841, he was a pony-express rider, lawyer, judge, teacher, gold prospector, nomad, and author. During a trip to the Bay Area in 1870, he met Ina Coolbrith, California’s first Poet Laureate and Oakland’s first public librarian. She convinced Cincinnatus to take the colorful pen name of “Joaquin” Miller. He later became known as the “Poet of the Sierras.”(Submitted on July 27, 2023, by Joseph Alvarado of Livermore, California.)
