About This Item
New York, 1896.. 163,[1]pp. Portrait. Original front wrapper, rear wrapper and spine supplied in expert restoration. Otherwise very nice and clean. A good plus copy. In a folding fabrikoid box. Miller was born in 1851, attended Cornell, and went to Kansas in 1878. This colorful narrative of his life as a rancher there over the next five years is an excellent firsthand account of ranching in Indian Territory during that early period. Miller spent a year and a half in Alaska in 1898-99, and died in Binghamton in 1930. One of the best early accounts of Indian Territory, and quite scarce.
Howell paid $125 for the Streeter copy in 1968. HOWES M602. ADAMS HERD 1485. ADAMS SIX-GUNS 1486. STREETER SALE 2387.
