Miller, Harry E. (Harry Edgar), 1879-1952

Harry Miller, also known as “Indian” or “Two Guns” is most famously remembered for being the name sake of the ghost town Two Guns located on Interstate 40 east of Flagstaff. Miller ran a trading store and zoo at this location during the period around 1925. Around 1940 Miller left Arizona for Lupton New Mexico where he became an amateur archaeologist. Miller believed that he had discovered the “real” route of Coronado and the Seven Cities of Cibola in the Lupton area. He was also an editor and author, having edited The Mocassin magazine in the 1920s, written Philosophy of Universality in 1929, and self-published a series of poetry books, Songs of the Navajo Sea, between 1946 and 1951. He died in 1952.
