This vintage hardcover book is "The Road to Virginia City : The Diary of Janes Knox Polk Miller: as edited by Andrew F. Rolle and Published by University of Oklahoma Press in its "American Exploration and Travel Series". This is the 1960 First Edition. From th…e dust-jacket blurb : "Three years of adventure in the West awaited young James Knox Polk Miller, who traveled the Overland Trail from St. Joseph, Missouri, to Salt Lake City, and on to Virginia City, Montana, in 1864. His account challenges the traditional view of life beyond the Rockies during the 1860s and provides a needed amendment to the notion that the West was populated only by outlaws, cowboys, and Indians. While Miller never underplays the violence that occurred, he also gives an intimate view of more orderly, thus more obscure activities: the rise of law and order, the founding of cultural groups on the frontier, the influence of merchants and sutlers, and the pattern by which the orderly facets of society were establishing themselves alongside the saloons and hurdy-gurdy houses. His assessment of such controversial figures as Brigham Young, Heber C. Kimball, and William A. Hickman contributes many details for the illumination of frontier Mormanism." Life upon the trails and aboard the riverboats is illuminated. Indians, outlaws, common cowboys, miners, riverboat men, and amazingly - Miller was involved with a theatre group in 1866 - there is a photograph of the players - including Miller - and the theatre broadside. Mr. Miller - at long length - finally built the Miller Building in Deadwood, Dakota Territory - which happened to be one of the first brick structures in that city.
