Author description

F. W. G. Miller (1904-1996), New Zealand’s longest-serving journalist.

While continuing his day job as a journalist, Miller established a long and distinguished career as a regional historian. From the late 1930s to the 1990s he wrote more than 20 books, including histories of Wakatipu, Waikaia, Cromwell, Hokonui and Southland County, and two volumes in the Otago centennial series: Golden days of Lake County (1949) and West to the fiords (1954). Through his work he had made an unmatched contribution to Southlanders’ knowledge of themselves, their province and its past.
