These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside True Bear Stories:Look inside the book: Father got up, turned about, put me behind him like, as an animal will its young, and peered back and down through the dense tangle of the deep river bank between two of the huge oxen which had crossed the plains with us to the water's edge; then he reached around and drew me to him with his left hand, pointing between the oxen sharp down the bank with his right forefinger. ...And right here, if I should set down what I thought about-where father was, the soldiers, anybody, everybody else, whether I had best just fall on my face and "play possum" and put in a little prayer or two on the side, like-well, I was going on to say that if I should write all that flashed and surged through my mind in the next three seconds, you would be very tired. About Joaquin Miller, the Author: As a young man, he moved to northern California during the California Gold Rush years, and had a variety of adventures, including spending a year living in a Native American village, and being wounded in a battle with Native Americans. ...9 About 1857, Miller supposedly married an Indian woman named Paquita (she may have been a Modoc Indian, and the relationship was probably that of a 'country wife') and lived in the McCloud River area of northern California; the couple had two children born in California or Oregon.
