Civil War vet Geo. W. Miller headed West for California but ended his journey in Bliss, Okla. Bliss no longer exists. Founder of the "Fabulous 101 Ranch"; originator of the Wild West Shows that were famous in the U.S. and Europe, and the subject of Michael Wallis's book "The Real Wild West", Geo. Miller is a larger than life figure. His 3 sons carried on until the dream ended around the time of the Great Depression in 1929. Read the book and marvel at this extra ordinary man and what he did.
