All the prose and poetry given above have been re- cently found. The only poetry of Minnie Myrtle Mill- er that has been generally familiar during the last 50 years has consisted of “Sacrifice Impetro”, in reply to “Myrrh”, by Joaquin Miller, previously referred to, and two fragments—“At the Land’s End” and “En- camped”’. In order that this chapter might include all of her writings which at this time can be located, these additional poems are also included. “Sacrifice Im- petro” was printed in several Oregon papers at the time it was written, including the Oregon Herald, Salem; the New Northwest, Portland; and the Ore- gon State Journal, Eugene, in which “Myrrh” had first appeared. The Oregon Historical Society has the original manuscript written in pencil on old-fashioned tablet paper.
