Andrew Miller (February 5, 1857 – December 31, 1919) was an American magazine publisher and Thoroughbred racehorse owner and breeder who was a founding partner and secretary and treasurer of Life magazine.
Born in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, Andrew Miller studied at Exeter College before graduating in 1880 from Harvard University where he was a classmate of Theodore Roosevelt.
Andrew Miller began his career in the publishing industry as an employee at the Daily Graphic, a New York City newspaper that was the first with daily illustrations. He left a year later to found Life magazine with John Ames Mitchell. Miller would hold a twenty-five percent interest in the magazine with Mitchell the remainder. Both men would retain their holdings until their deaths.[1] The success of Life magazine allowed Miller to indulge his passion for horse racing.
