Joaquin Miller war ein amerikanischer Dichter, Essayist und Fabulist, bekannt für seine farbenfrohe Persönlichkeit und seine unverwechselbare literarische Stimme. Seine Schriften ließen sich oft von den Themen und Legenden des amerikanischen Westens inspirieren und fingen den Geist dieser Ära ein. Millers Werk erforschte die raue Schönheit der Natur, das Streben nach Freiheit und den rauen Individualismus, der für das Leben an der Grenze charakteristisch ist. Durch seine poetische Sprache und sein episches Geschichtenerzählen erweckte er das abenteuerliche Herz und die romantische Vision des Westens für seine Leser zum Leben.
