These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside The Ship in the Desert: Look inside the book: Nearly a quarter of a century ago you took me the long and lonesome half-year's journey across the mighty continent, wild, and rent, and broken up, and sown with sand and ashes, viii and crossed by tumbling, wooded rivers that ran as if glad to get away, fresh and strange and new as if but half-fashioned from the hand of God. ...The wild men waiting on the other side, painted savages leaning silent on their bows, despising our weakness, opening a way, letting us pass on ix to the unknown distances, where they said the sun and moon lay down together and brought forth the stars.... 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.
