The Miller ruins

California · United States · Manor

Henry Miller owned more California than almost anyone alive. His daughter was killed on this ground when she came off her horse.

The ruins on Mount Madonna in California were the summer house of Henry Miller, who at his height owned more land in this state than almost any private individual ever has, running cattle from Mexico to Oregon.

His daughter was killed here. She came off her horse and broke her neck.

She is seen riding in the open fields, and figures on horseback have been reported in mist across these hills for decades.

The ruins themselves are foundations and steps in the redwoods, which is all that is left of a very large house.

Miller arrived from Germany with almost nothing and died one of the richest men in the west, and the story told about him is that he never got over her.

The park is public and the ruins can be walked through.
