George U. Hubbard, PhD, MS, BS
Born in 1928, George Hubbard was born into and grew up privileged. He wasn't privileged the way most people think of privilege - financial wealth - he was privileged to grow up where education and culture were prized above money. The son of a university president and beloved educator who created a cultural Mecca in North Central Texas, George literally sat at the feet of luminaries such as Robert Frost, Amelia Earhart, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Lily Pons, Eleanor Roosevelt, and many, many more. From these internationally renowned icons, George learned the art of storytelling and the thrill of adventure and exploration.
George loved unhurried road trips. He took great pleasure in wandering the back roads of the Old West; in taking ten mile detours off the Interstate to some obscure historical market; in combing through small local museums and libraries to unearth the facts behind myths and legends then bringing to life riveting histories of little-known people, places, and animals.
Through his writings, Hubbard provides true and entertaining glimpses into the characteristics and escapades that made them great their hopes, their dreams, their schemes, their successes, and their failures. He found the mid-19th Century and early 20th Century an especially exciting time in the Old West, and Hubbard's stories focus on that excitement.
Award-winning and bestselling author George U. Hubbard spent his life as an educator. Writing was his avocation.
After completing his tour of duty in the United States Army during the Korean War, George taught junior high school mathematics briefly before being recruited by corporate America at the dawn of the computer age. IBM lured him away from Lockheed, but after 32 years teaching and training both IBM employees and clients, he retired to focus on his true passions writing and academia. He retired again from Texas Woman's University where he taught statistics.
George holds a PhD from the University of North Texas, an MS Statistics from Stanford University, and an MS and BSEE from The University of Texas. He is the author of numerous newspaper, magazine and journal articles books.
