She was trained in literature, history, and art history at Stanford University, taking her M.A. degree at the Courtauld Institute, University of London, and her Ph.D. in American Studies at Yale University. Her teaching interests at Washington University in St. Louis extend from histories of photography to painting and muralism, as well as transnational cultural exchange between the 20th century US and Mexico. Miller’s book Empire of the Eye (1993) analyzed the cultural politics of landscape imagery as a fundamental aspect of national self-construction in the first half of the 19th century and won national awards.

    Description

    Now an Apple TV+ Series "A terrific narrative of the hunt for Lincoln's killers that will mesmerize the reader from start to finish."-Doris Kearns Goodwin The murder of Abraham Lincoln set off the greatest manhunt in American history--the pursuit and capture of John Wilkes Booth. From April 14 to April 26, 1865, the assassin led Union cavalry troops on a wild, 12-day chase from the streets of Washington, D.C., across the swamps of Maryland, and into the forests of Virginia, while the nation, still reeling from the just-ended Civil War, watched in horror and sadness. Based on rare archival materials, obscure trial transcripts, and Lincoln's own blood relics Manhunt is a fully documented, fascinating tale of murder, intrigue, and betrayal. A gripping hour-by-hour account told through the eyes of the hunted and the hunters, it is history as it's never been read before.
