Helen Catherine Knapp Markley Miller[1] (December 4, 1896 – November 1984)[2][3] was an American writer of historical and biographical fiction for children taking place in the Western United States.[4]

Biography

Helen Markley Miller was born in Cedar Falls, Iowa.[5] In 1919 she graduated from the Iowa Teachers College in her city of birth.[6] Subsequently, she worked as an English teacher until her marriage.[6] She married journalist Martin Baxter Miller (May 30, 1900 – May 14, 1944), who became managing editor at the Idaho Statesman. After her husband died of a heart attack, she picked up teaching again.[6][7]

In 1953 Doubleday published Miller's first book, Promenade All.[8][9] In 1954 she graduated with a master's degree from Western State College of Colorado.[5][6] Her masters' thesis, Let me be a free man, was about Chief Joseph.[10] Like many of her books, it was a fictionalized biography.[10]

After her graduate studies, Miller lived in McCall, Idaho[5][11][12] and wrote 21 more books. All were published by major publishing houses. She was represented by literary agent Barthold Fles.[13][14] Miller had taught at the University of Idaho.[15]

Helen Markley Miller's only son,[16] Andrew Markley "Mack" Miller, participated as a cross-country skier in the Winter Olympics of 1956 and 1960.[17] Mack and his sport formed the inspiration to Mrs. Miller's sixth novel, Ski fast, ski long.

In 1966, Promenade all was published in German as Indianerblut (Indian blood).[18]
