You can find Miller's personal account of the original experiment
in:
S.L. Miller, "The first laboratory synthesis of organic compounds
under primitive earth conditions" in <The Heritage of Copernicus:
Theories "Pleasing to the Mind">, J. Neyman ed., MIT Press,
1974, pp. 228-242.
For a summary of what has happened since 1953, see:
S.L. Miller, "The prebiotic synthesis of organic compounds as a
step toward the origin of life" in <Major events in the
history of life>, JW Schopf ed., Jones and Bartlett, 1992,
pp. 1-28.
