About the author
Mrs. D. L. Miller, also published as Elizabeth Talley Miller, is known for Letters to the Young from the Old World: Notes of Travel, first published in 1894. Written as a series of letters for young people, the book recounts travels through Europe and the Bible Lands in an accessible, personal style.
The surviving public record available here is fairly sparse, but the dates you provided—1848–1928—match a memorial record for Elizabeth Talley Miller. Her work suggests a writer interested not only in travel itself, but in sharing history, scenery, and religious reflection with younger readers in a clear and encouraging way.
Because reliable biographical sources appear limited, it is safest to remember her primarily through that book: a late-19th-century voice combining travel writing, instruction, and gentle storytelling for family reading.
