Produktbeschreibung

Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

Autorenporträt

Cincinnatus Heine Miller, better known by his pen name Joaquin Miller, was an American poet, author, and frontiersman. Born on September 8, 1837, in Union County, Indiana, he is often called the "Poet of the Sierras" for his vivid portrayal of the Sierra Nevada in his work Songs of the Sierras. Miller s early life was marked by adventurous pursuits, including his involvement in the California Gold Rush, where he worked as a prospector. His time in the West greatly influenced his literary style, which celebrated nature and frontier life. Throughout his career, he became known for his rugged individualism and his works that captured the spirit of the American wilderness. Miller also worked as a journalist and served as a correspondent during the Civil War. In his later years, he became a prominent figure in literary and social circles, and his public persona was intertwined with his image as a frontiersman. He passed away on February 17, 1913, in Oakland, California, and was laid to rest in Joaquin Miller Park. He had one child, Juanita Joaquina Miller.
