The Rise and Fall of Henry Miller’s Ranch Empire
Henry Miller, born Heinrich Mueller, built a vast California empire of 800,000 acres and 80,000 cattle with partner Karl Lux and later expanded into Oregon and Nevada. Upon Miller’s death in 1916 the estate, valued around 40 million, was broken up by court battles and a trust, with the heirs and charities receiving substantial bequests as the vast holdings face parceling.
