Miller,
Urion Press, soft

“Separating
fact from fiction in Life Amongst the Modocs is no easy task …
Miller had indeed lived in the mining camps and among the Indians of
northern California. He had married an Indian woman who taught him
the Wintu language … Miller cannot seem to resist swaggering
through the pages of the book, dressed in outlandish attitudes, any
more than he could resist swaggering through the streets of London
wearing colorful outfits.”

Margolin in his introduction
