Autor

W.G. Miller was an American Methodist minister who served extensively within the Wisconsin Conference of the Church during the 19th century. Born in the early 19th century, Miller was initially reluctant to enter the ministry, but divine providence, as he described it, led him to serve in the church. His career as an itinerant preacher spanned decades, during which he travelled through various small communities, ministering to congregations in frontier regions. He faced many challenges typical of his time, including the difficulties of traveling across vast, unsettled landscapes and the constant need to adapt to different communities. Through his experiences, Miller witnessed significant social and religious changes in 19th-century America, particularly in the expanding frontier. His reflections, detailed in his memoir Thirty Years in the Itinerancy, offer insight into the life of a dedicated minister in the Methodist Church and highlight themes of faith, perseverance, and divine guidance. Miller's life and work significantly contributed to the Methodist movement in Wisconsin, and his writing remains a valuable account of religious life in a developing America.
