Houghton Mifflin History
The roots of this company go back to 1832 when William Ticknor and James Fields established a publishing house. They formed a close association with The Riverside Press, a Boston printing company founded by Henry Houghton in 1852. George Mifflin became Houghton's partner in 1872. In 1880, Ticknor and Fields merged with The Riverside Press to form Houghton, Mifflin and Company. The name Ticknor & Fields is still used as an imprint.
Acquired Educational publisher McDougal Littell in the 1990s.

Ticknor and Company was absorbed by Houghton, Mifflin in 1889 (Wikipedia). The latter would have acquired Ticknor and Company copyrights, or exercised them, or otherwise verbed them as appropriate. --Pwendt|talk 19:03, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
