  • “Bronco” Charlie Miller Born 1850 – Died January 15, 1955 Plot 6 Lot 22
    “Bronco” Charlie Miller Born 1850 – Died January 15, 1955 Plot 6 Lot 22 Charlie H. Miller was born between two buffalo robes in a covered wagon out west in Shasta, California in about 1850. His Father and Mother were a part of a 300 wagon train heading for Fort Sutter and the gold rush. His father had worked as a suit maker for Lord and Taylor and his mother had been a school teacher. At 11 years old, Charlie was hired as a Pony Express rider. As the story goes, Charlie and his father were in Sacramento, the western terminus of the pony Express, when the rider less horse with the bloody saddle came in. The Superintendent called for a volunteer to ride the mail to Carson City and Charlie was in the right place at the right time. And so, Bronco Charlie, Pony Express Rider was born. There were 240 riders and Charlie was the youngest. You had to be small and hardy to ride, you could weigh but 125 pounds. It was a brutal route from St. Joseph, Missouri to Sacramento, California. The Pony Express only was in operation from April 3, 1860 to October 1861. He was such a young man that it made him famous, as he was known throughout the whole United States. After Charlie’s stint in the Pony Express he went from town to town running riding stables, breaking horses and living an adventurous life for 20 years. During his 20’s, his parents were captured and scalped by Indians. In 1844 he had come east and met the great Teddy Roosevelt.
