"My Schools and Schoolmasters; Or, The Story of My Education" by Hugh Miller is a tale of a 19th-century life that recounts the journey of a young boy as he grows and is taught by life's lessons, set against the experiences that shaped his curious mind. Beginning with the disobedience of a command, the narrative illuminates his sympathetic heart and sets him on a path filled with the bravery required from the life of a sailor. Miller's story is rich with the details of his upbringing, including the important roles family members played in guiding his development and how the loss of his father affected him, as he embarked on the adventures of his life.
