In 1832, William Ticknor and James Thomas Fields began a small publishing business and gradually gathered an impressive list of writers, including Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Henry David Thoreau. The duo formed a close relationship with Riverside Press, a Boston printing company owned by Henry Oscar Houghton. Shortly after, Houghton also founded a publishing company with partner George Mifflin. In 1880, Ticknor and Fields and Houghton and Mifflin merged their operations, combining the literary works of writers with the expertise of a publisher and creating a new partnership named Houghton, Mifflin and Company. Derived from a Kirkus review: Mrs. Ballou has a font of information about the company which began as a press (Henry Oscar Houghton was originally a printer but one of great taste) and which through all its early years was closely affiliated with the Riverside Press as well as its subsidiary Atlantic Monthly. Although there were many other associates and editors to follow, George Harrison Mifflin who joined Houghton as a partner in 1872 developed the firm and eventually they acquired Ticknor and Fields notable manifest of writers, reorganized, and expanded through the '70's and '80's. Notables appear, from the early New England constellation down to Hawthorne and Lowell, Henry James and Howells. . . and also Kate Douglas Wiggin and Sara Orne Jewett along with many names the general reader today will not remember.
