About the author
Working in the first half of the 20th century, T. A. H. Miller wrote practical books and bulletins on farm construction, concrete work, chimneys, roofing, and other building problems faced by rural households. His work is closely associated with publications of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, where he was credited as an agricultural engineer.
Rather than writing fiction or literary essays, he specialized in useful instruction. Titles connected with his name include Plain Concrete for Farm Use, The Use of Logs and Poles in Farm Construction, Foundations for Farm Buildings, and Fireplaces and Chimneys. The appeal of his writing lies in its plainspoken, problem-solving style: he explained how to build, repair, and maintain structures in ways ordinary farmers could put to work.
Thomas Arrington Huntington Miller was born in 1885 and died in 1949. Even now, his books offer a window into everyday rural technology and the practical spirit of agricultural extension writing in the United States.
