"Hugh Miller" by W. Keith Leask is a historical biography written in the late 19th century. The book unfolds the life of Hugh Miller, a significant Scottish geologist, writer, and theologian, exploring his early years, professional endeavors, and contributions to both science and religion against the backdrop of 19th-century Scotland. The opening of this biography introduces the quaint town of Cromarty, detailing its geography and significance while setting the stage for Hugh Miller's birth in 1802. We learn about his familial background, particularly his father's maritime history and his mother's strong character. This section highlights Miller's formative experiences, his early education, and the various influences that shaped his intellect and imagination, including his interactions with family members who instilled a love for storytelling and knowledge. It also foreshadows the struggles and challenges he would face as he embarked on a path toward becoming a prominent figure in both geological science and the theological debates of his time.
