George Harrison Mifflin (1845 - 1921) was an executive in the publishing business. He served as president of Houghton Mifflin.[1]
Mifflin was born in Boston.[2] He graduated from Harvard. He joined Hurd and Houghton in 1867[3] and worked for its subsidiary Riverside Press.[4] He partnered with Henry Oscar Houghton in 1872.[3]
Houghton died in 1895 and Mifflin took over leadership of the company. He communicated with some of its prominent authors through good times and bad.[5]
Mifflin was at first skeptical of the company's investment in educational publishing.[6] He was socially connected to Sarah Wyman Whitman, who designed elegant book covers for the business.[7]
