In the Wall Street Crash of 1929, the Millers lost almost everything and were forced to move to Gravesend, Brooklyn where, as a teenager, Miller delivered bread every morning before school to help with their finances. After graduating in 1932 from Abraham Lincoln High School, Miller worked several jobs in order to pay for his college tuition at the University of Michigan where he would major in journalism. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. Jacket photograph by Gjon Mili. With a picture of Miller’s parents laid in. From the library of Arthur Miller.
