Elizabeth Miller (August 17, 1878 – August 19, 1961) was an American novelist who wrote "best-sellers" during the same era as fellow Hoosiers Lew Wallace, Maurice Thompson, Booth Tarkington, Charles Major, Meredith Nicholson, and George Barr McCutcheon.[1] Her first three novels, a trilogy, set forth the rise, triumph and decline of Judaism, and placed Miller near the top among the list of writers of modern classics of her day, her strength lying in her ability to produce “atmosphere” and in a certain acute sense of values in reproducing scenes of the Orient.[2]
