Miller, P. Schuyler (Peter Schuyler), 1912-1974

P. Schuyler Miller was born February 21, 1912 and raised in New York's Mowhawk Valley, which led to his life-long fascination with the Iroquois nation. He pursued this as an amateur archaeologist and a member of the New York State Archaeological Association. Miller received his M.S. in chemistry from Union College in Schnectady, New York. He subsequently worked as a technical writer for General Electric in the 1940s, and for the Fisher Scientific Company in Pittsburgh from 1952 until his death.

Miller wrote pulp science fiction beginning in the 1930s. His work appeared in such magazines as Wonder Stories, Science Fiction Digest, Marvel Tales, and Super Science Stories, among others. He gradually shifted into book reviewing beginning in 1945, initially for Astounding Science Fiction and later for its successor, Analog . He began a regularly monthly review column in Astounding Science Fiction in October, 1951. He is also known as an early bibliographer of Robert E. Howard's "Conan" stories in the 1930s, together with his friend John D. Clark.

In 1963, Miller was awarded a special Hugo Award for book reviews.

Miller died October 13, 1974 in Blennerhassett Island, West Virginia.
