Miller (before he regularly used the name Joaquin). Lovely archive of materials related to the California frontiersman and poet Joaquin Miller. Gathered lovingly by family friend A.V.D. "Van" Honeyman. Honeyman was originally friends with Joaquin's brother Dr. John Miller who was a dentist in the same building where Honeyman practiced law. Upon John's untimely death, a close bond was formed between Honeyman and Joaquin. A family friendship ensued, and this archive shows the fondness that Honeyman has for Joaquin and his family.
