    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.
