Jaime de Angulo (1887-1950) was born in Paris of Spanish parents. He came to America in 1905, found work as a cowboy, and ended up in San Francisco the day before the Great Earthquake in 1906. Built his homestead on Partington Ridge in Big Sur in 1914, thus when Miller moved to the ridge in 1947 they became neigbours. De Angulo was a medical doctor, psychologist, renowned linguist, and novelist. As a linguist, he contributed to the knowledge of many Northern Californian tribal languages, as well as ethnomusicological investigations. He lived among the tribes he studied and tried to become integrated into their daily lives. Much of his life and work exemplifies his recognition of the trickster wisdom in their native "coyote tales."

Stefan Hyner, German poet and translator, was educated at the Universities of Heidelberg and Taipei where he studied Sinology and East-Asian art history. Teaching and writing in Asia and America from 1981 to 1989, he visited China, Tibet, Korea, Japan, the United States, Mexico, and Canada. Author of numerous poetry books and translations from Chinese and English, Hyner is currently at work on the archives of Italian Swiss artist/poet Franco Beltrametti (1937–1995).

From a review of the “Old Coyote of Big Sur.”:
O.K. folks, this is a precious book, a really special treat for those of us steeped in the lore of the west. Jaime De Angulo was a rare man, who came west when he was eighteen, from France, where he was born of Spanish descent. He was in San Francisco during the quake of 1906. He earned his medical degree at a prestigious university and ended up living the life of one of the most original inhabitants of Big Sur, with periodic, and lengthy excursions into Indian Country... Hopefully it can get another printing. This is a gold mine of a book.” Now it’s here!
