Walter Montgomery Jackson
Walter Montgomery Jackson (1863 in Newton Lower Falls, Massachusetts - 1923) was the less-active partner of Horace Everett Hooper in publishing the 10th edition of the Encyclopædia Britannica and in developing its 11th. He split with Hooper in 1908-1909 in a remarkably nasty legal fight; after failing to wrest control of the Britannica from Hooper, Jackson went on to found his own encyclopedia, the Book of Knowledge.
