Miller, an American citizen who participated in the Canadian rebellion of 1837-38, was transported to the penal colonies in Van Dieman's Land and New South Wales. He was one of nine political exiles who published accounts of their experiences. His is a vivid firsthand narrative of the Rebellion; his trial, conviction, and transportation; life in the penal colony; and subsequent pardon and return home.
