Bibliography A JOAQUIN MILLER CHRONOLOGICAL BIBLIOGRAPHY AND STUDY GUIDE 1 A JOAQUIN MILLER CHRONOLOGICAL BIBLIOGRAPHY AND STUDY GUIDE By Margaret Guilford-Kardell and Scott McKeown Edited by Glennys Christie (Publisher, Location, Date…) © 2006 Margaret Guilford-Kardell and Scott McKeown 2 DEDICATION This publication is dedicated to every soul who has ever discovered, clipped, copied, typed, filed or indexed any of Joaquin Miller’s work or public comment about him – with or without citations. CAVEAT “No man has a right to express an opinion of Joaquin Miller until he has read his works and read them well from end to end." William M. F. Round The Independent New York, December 5, 1872 3 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Margaret Guilford-Kardell (1920-) began this presentation in the 1980s at the urging of Corinne Graves Hoffpauir (1916-1989), who had discovered some early previously undocumented Miller poems. Guilford-Kardell was prodded on and encouraged by fellow Shasta County historians Hazel McKim and Joe Mazzini; without the latter’s word processing skills this project could not have been envisioned. Then bibliographer Hensley Woodbridge (1923-2001) saw a draft copy at a Jack London symposium and urged its completion. In May of 1991 Dr. Ray C. Longtin, Miller’s bibliographer of the 20th century, read the manuscript and encouraged Guilford-Kardell to continue in an academic climate then still in denial of the importance of Joaquin Miller in both Western Literature and Western History. In the years of research before the advent of today’s web sites Guilford-Kardell met or corresponded with many historians and librarians etc. who were often succeeded by others during the course of this project. Among these helpful people were Susan M. Allen, former and now Carrie Marsh present, Head, Special Collections, The Honnold Library, The Claremont Colleges, Claremont, CA; Eleanor Brown, former Executive Secretary, Siskiyou County Historical Society, Yreka, CA; Robert Chandler, Wells Fargo History Room, San Francisco, CA; J.

Susan Goodwin, Portland, Oregon, deserves separate recognition for her considerable research. 4 In 2004 Margaret Guilford-Kardell and Scott McKeown decided to merge their massive Miller bibliographies into one document to be equally available to and usable by both Joaquin Miller scholars and aficionados (and, of course, aficionadas). Fortunately Margaret’s long time friend, editor and burgeoning Miller enthusiast Glennys Christie (BA, UBC, English Literature; MA Stanford University, Journalism and Communication) was able to bring her lifetime of editorial experience as editor/publisher of several community newspapers over the years to this monumental effort. Without her understanding and love of literature and editorial background from early print to online editing, this bibliography would never have seen the light of day. As noted elsewhere, her journalist daughter Alix Christie worked on the 1985 special edition of True Bear Stories and her well-known poet daughter, A.V. Christie, has been invited to read at Joaquin Miller’s Cabin in Rock Creek Park in Washington, D.C. Hopefully, you too, as you read this Miller study guide and bibliography, can write something about Joaquin Miller or find something in your local archives that should be included in this bibliography; you can send it to http://www.joaquinmiller.com/bibliography.htm (discussions???) to share with everyone. 5 ABOUT THE AUTHORS Margaret Guilford-Kardell Joaquin Miller’s most ardent truth seeker was born seven years after his death and lived her youth hiking to his nearby “Hights” while learning Columbus in grade school. A whole lifetime passed after her graduation from U.C.Berkeley with a B.S. in then Agricultural Economics – now Natural Resources – and then an M.S. from the University of Tennessee. Only in the 1970s after a life abroad did she accidentally discover that Joaquin was telling the truth about the Indians where she then lived on the McCloud River. For the past 30 years she has been ferreting out more truth about him and his influence on his era, all the while sharing her knowledge and enthusiasm with others. Scott McKeown Scott has maintained an active general real estate law practice since his admission to the Oregon State Bar in 1985 and has devoted approximately 20 per cent of his legal career to the practice of juvenile law. He is on the board of directors of Innovative Housing, Inc., a non- profit provider of low-income housing. His education includes a Juris Doctorate from Lewis and Clark College, Northwestern School of Law 1985, a Masters Degree in Business Administration from Portland State University 1983 and a Bachelor of Science in Political Science from the University of Oregon 1971. Scott’s motivation for undertaking a bibliography began with his student film project, a documentary on Cincinnatus. The historic research would help him get the story right. Then, he found that when he told people of Joaquin’s multiple adventures he was often met with skepticism. The bibliography will assuage some of this disbelief and provides hard evidence that the stories the film tells really happened. Scott appreciates that Margaret Guilford- Kardell’s contribution to this bibliography eclipses his. He is thankful that she credited him with co-authorship rather relegating him to the acknowledgments. 6 PREFACE In Margaret Guilford-Kardell’s childhood, Joaquin Miller was a “given.” Now we find he is being rediscovered and described just as the blind men described the elephant. Margaret nearing 86, and Scott McKeown father of three children hasten to help set Miller’s records straight for future generations. Early on, Miller was identified as a poet. He was lauded and criticized for his poetry and his prose. No one seems to have considered or analyzed Miller as a journalist, or as an essayist or for what he was saying, or for the history he mentioned. In 1980 Dr. Ray C. Longtin began to sense “... a subtle undercurrent of rethinking about this eccentric man.” He suggested that “perhaps, for reasons other than his poetry, Miller deserves re-study." Bill Miesse, California art historian, has read more of Miller’s works than most. His assessment of Joaquin Miller agrees with ours. We feel that Joaquin Miller had a “timeless point of view on civil rights and environmental issues, and was directly in touch with the elements of nature." Among today's literati, Alan Rosenus has started to reintroduce scholars and students to Miller through scholarly articles and in reprints of Life Amongst the Modocs: Unwritten History, which Rosenus terms Miller’s best work and which he clearly identifies as a novel. William Everson has identified Miller as the archetype of Far Western literature, and has found an 1870 poem from Miller”s diary which he considers a totally “achieved” poem. So, finally Miller has been recognized by the literary establishment. But critics of these reprints still chatter about Miller”s style and lifestyle, all on the basis of a few works or even just one work that chances to hand. Miller started writing notes and poems to editors years before he spent two winters in college. Later, his articles in newspapers and magazines far exceeded his output of poems or books, if you discount reprints. He also served some time as an editor. Only fleeting passes have been made at studying Miller as a writer of political protest and as a writer on human rights. Such studies have often been by those trying to include Miller in their own political camp. But they have had difficulty with his deep foundation in the Bible and compassion for all men. No one seems to have studied Miller’s ties to his Bible background. Liberal Boston and New York publishers of his day recognized these ties as well as his popularity with their readers who were also students of the Bible. No one seems to have studied Miller as a travel writer or as an historian, perhaps because his early detractors suggested he was all fiction and a liar. They didn’t like his truth. Historical research has proven the authenticity of his real experiences 7 upon which frames he wove his work. In articles for The Californians, Guilford-Kardell has begun to set the record straight as to the history of events in Miller’s life and in his time frame.

  • Georgia Douglas Johnson and Eulalie Spence As Figures Who Fostered Community in the Midst of Debate
    Art versus Propaganda?: Georgia Douglas Johnson and Eulalie Spence as Figures who Fostered Community in the Midst of Debate Thesis Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Caroline Roberta Hill, B.A. Graduate Program in Theatre The Ohio State University 2019 Thesis Committee: Jennifer Schlueter, Adviser Beth Kattelman Copyright by Caroline Roberta Hill 2019 Abstract The Harlem Renaissance and New Negro Movement is a well-documented period in which artistic output by the black community in Harlem, New York, and beyond, surged. On the heels of Reconstruction, a generation of black artists and intellectuals—often the first in their families born after the thirteenth amendment—spearheaded the movement. Using art as a means by which to comprehend and to reclaim aspects of their identity which had been stolen during the Middle Passage, these artists were also living in a time marked by the resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan and segregation. It stands to reason, then, that the work that has survived from this period is often rife with political and personal motivations. Male figureheads of the movement are often remembered for their divisive debate as to whether or not black art should be politically charged. The public debates between men like W. E. B. Du Bois and Alain Locke often overshadow the actual artistic outputs, many of which are relegated to relative obscurity. Black female artists in particular are overshadowed by their male peers despite their significant interventions. Two pioneers of this period, Georgia Douglas Johnson (1880-1966) and Eulalie Spence (1894-1981), will be the subject of my thesis.

  • Pacific Pastoralism: Ancient Poetics & The
    PACIFIC PASTORALISM: ANCIENT POETICS & THE DECONSTRUCTION OF AMERICAN PARADISE A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE DIVISION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF HAWAI‘I AT MĀNOA IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS IN AMERICAN STUDIES MAY 2014 By Travis D. Hancock Thesis Committee: Joseph Stanton (Chairperson) Brandy Nalani McDougall Robert Perkinson Keywords: Pastoral, Paradise, Pacific Islands, Hawai‘i, Herman Melville, Charles Warren Stoddard, Mark Twain, Theocritus, Longus ABSTRACT: This aim of this thesis is to deconstruct the etymology of the word “paradise” within the context of early Pacific narratives by popular American authors, and then within today’s tourist propaganda. Fundamental to that process is the imagination of “Pacific Pastoralism,” in which the pastoral tradition is considered as a predecessor to American traditions of describing the landscapes and peoples of the Pacific region, as those descriptions fueled an economy forcibly mapped onto that space. Herein texts are analyzed via close-reading comparisons, historical research, and more lyrical methods such as rhetorical stargazing, echolocation, and narrative technique. While this thesis is indebted to scholars in the fields of American Studies and English literature, it attempts to open space for Pacific Island Studies to epistemologically counter its cultural materialist claims. In total, this thesis is a critique of tourist marketing, which was ferried from antiquity to the Pacific on wooden ships, and today renders beaches little more than golf course sand-traps.

I argue that the gay and lesbian novel has a much longer history, which I trace by considering the literary circulation of homosexual types—types that through course of the nineteenth century accrete more and more language to themselves while also generating new abstract terms to describe same-sex sexual sociability. Eighteenth-century literature was sparsely populated by minor characters or fleeting episodes of desire expressed between members of the same sex. By the end of the nineteenth century, minor characters evolve into protagonists and their episodic encounters are either multiplied or developed into novel-length narratives with the texture of entire worlds. “Getting Around” thus takes as its focus the development not just of queer characters or subjects, but of queer protagonists and complete narrative worlds in which those protagonists make sense. ii My chapters focus both on the ways authors respond to the language of sexual types in other texts and on the ways other texts respond to them as they continue to circulate.
