Road to Virginia CityEntry/Object ID
L1966.1.35Description
Road to Virginia City is the diary of James Knox Polk Miller. It covers his journey from St. Joseph, Missouri to Salt Lake City and on to Virginia City, Montana in 1864.
He savored the drinking, gambling, gold-frenzied atmosphere of Virginia City as only a run-away nineteen-year-old could. His account of law and order being established and the founding of cultural groups on the frontier shows another side to the West.
