Summary "My Schools and Schoolmasters; Or, The Story of My Education" by Hugh Miller is an autobiographical narrative written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles Miller's early life, focusing on his formative experiences and the influences that shaped his education. Through a series of vivid recollections, he reflects on his boyhood, familial connections, and the elements that fostered his love for learning, particularly his interest in geology and natural sciences. At the start of the narrative, the reader is introduced to the young Hugh Miller, a sailor's son, who finds himself in precarious situations that foreshadow the adventurous life he will lead. The opening recaptures a pivotal moment from his childhood when he defies his mother's orders to drown a litter of puppies, showcasing his compassionate nature. This act leads him to the life of a sailor, setting the stage for stories of bravery, hardship, and the impact of family on his development. Miller paints a rich picture of his early influences, particularly the guidance of his uncles and the loss of his father, as he embarks on the educational journey that will mold his intellectual pursuits.
