RANCH LIFE IN SOUTHERN KANSAS AND THE INDIAN TERRITORY. AS TOLD BY A NOVICE. HOW A FORTUNE WAS MADE IN CATTLE. Miller was born in 1851, attended Cornell, and went to Kansas in 1878. This colorful narrative of his life as a rancher there over the next five years is an excellent firsthand account of ranching in Indian Territory during that early period. Miller spent a year and a half in Alaska in 1898-99, and died in Binghamton in 1930. One of the best early accounts of Indian Territory, and quite scarce.Howell paid $125 for the Streeter copy in 1968.
