George Jewsbury

For people who check facts
George Jewsbury is an academic who has collaborated on several textbooks in the Civilization:Past & Present series. He has also written several books on history, including Russian Annexation of Bessarabia, 1774-1828. He was a professor of history at Oklahoma State University.

He is the uncle of author Neal Stephenson, and collaborated with his nephew on two different books. For these books he adopted the pseudonym J. Frederick George, and the two of them then adopted the further pseudonym of "Stephen Bury" (that is, it was revealed after the books' publication that Stephen Bury was a pseudonym for Neal Stephenson and his uncle, J. Frederick George -- it was then further revealed (after several years) that J. Frederick George was a pseudonym for George Jewsbury).
