One thing about her is she never set dates but predicted situations
Ellen Harmon spent the night in tears.
Harmon — whose later decisions to marry James White and co-found the Seventh-day Adventist Church had roots in that night — was among some 100,000 people in northeastern United States who futilely waited for Jesus’ second coming on October 22, 1844.

Ellen White was very good at taking the writings of the best authors, both secular and Christian, and tailoring them to suit her purposes.
The White Estate admits the following while defending against the charges she was a plagiarist -
"In some cases where a historian has so grouped together events as to afford, in brief, a comprehensive view of the subject, or has summarized details in a convenient manner, his words have been quoted; but in some instances no specific credit has been given, since the quotations are not given for the purpose of citing that writer as authority, but because his statement affords a ready and forcible presentation of the subject. In narrating the experience and views of those carrying forward the work of reform in our own time, similar use has been made of their published works" (The Great Controversy, p. xii).

Ellen White compares William Miller to the prophet Elisha in her book The Great Controversy -
"As Elisha was called following his oxen in the field, to receive the mantle of consecration to the prophetic office, so was William Miller called to leave his plow and open to the people the mysteries of the kingdom of God."
Lots of good authors were copied in that book, but the chapter she dedicated to William Miller is pure propaganda.
William Miller convinced thousands of people to sell everything they owned because Christ was supposedly going to return in 1844.
Elisha would have slapped him silly.
