Levi Miller (January 9, 1836 – February 25, 1921) was a preacher and farmer from Virginia. During the American Civil War, Miller was a manservant for his owner's brother, a Confederate Army captain, and may have been enrolled as a regular soldier after the Battle of the Wilderness in May 1864.[1] Miller's service is frequently used as an example of a black man who served as a soldier in the Confederate Army.
