Jakob Hans Müller was born July 22nd, 1877 in Kentucky. Jakobs father Hans Müller fought in the Civil war from 1864-1865 after moving from Bavaria, Germany. Both his parents Hans and Anna Müller were from Germany so at home Jakob spoke German, but at school and in town he spoke English. By the early 1880s Jakob was adapting to the American culture and started to go by his English name, “James Miller”. He always kept his middle name, “Hans” the same because he wanted his father’s legacy to stay around. As a kid he loved dinosaurs. He was always amazed at the fact that they once wandered the earth. As James grew older in the early 1890s his father taught him to use a rifle and ride a horse. In 1892 when James started high school he began to strike interest in the military. In 1896 when James graduated and was 18 he decided to join the military for fun and learning times. He ended up in the 5th Cavalry Regiment 1st Squadron(The Lancers).

James H. Miller during the Spanish-American war(1898-1902)
Battle of San Juan hill. James arrived at fort San Juan in July of 1898. From what he said, "It smelled like dead rodents and reaked of Oder"(James H. Miller 1931). After the battle of San Juan hill in 1898 James had suffered trauma like never before, he saw things like never before. He claimed, "That night I didn't sleep and I didn't want to. Every time I closed my eyes I saw horrible things from the battle. People's legs getting shot off by canons, stabbing people, and worse. In fact I didn't sleep for the rest of the week. After that it felt like my whole purpose was here… killing Spanish soldiers and surviving"(James H. Miller 1931) Cask8292 (talk) 16:20, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
