James Terry White James Terry White (3 July 1845 in Newburyport, Massachusetts – 3 April 1920 in Manhattan, New York) was an American publisher and poet.

Bancroft & Co. In 1869, White founded a publishing company bearing his name, James T. White Co. in San Francisco; and in 1886, with his son George Derby White, moved its headquarters to New York City. The firm published the first edition of "The National Cyclopaedia of American Biography" in 1891. At the death of his son in 1939, thirty-one volumes had been published, each containing about 1,000 biographies and 450 pages.
