Description
Ross-shire polymath Hugh Miller (1802-56) was famous across the English-speaking world as a stonemason, social commentator, evangelical Christian and an inspiring writer on fossils. This biography quotes generous chunks of Miller's own immensely readable writing - he was known as 'the supreme poet of geology' - and covers the full range of his life, public and private, with a surprising conclusion regarding his suicide.
