George Marshall, born in 1904, was the son of Louis Marshall, noted constitutional lawyer and co-founder of the American Jewish Committee, and Florence Lowenstein. He was raised in Manhattan with his sister, Ruth, and brothers, James and Robert. Marshall attended the Ethnical Culture School, continued his education at Columbia University and the Brookings Institution, where he received his PhD in economics. From 1934 to 1937, Marshall worked as an economist for the National Recovery Administration under Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal. Along with his wife, Elisabeth Dublin, Marshall shifted focus to left-wing politics in New York City and served as chairman of the National Federation for Constitutional Liberties and the Civil Rights Congress. In 1950, he was convicted of contempt for refusal to turn over records of the organization and sent to federal prison for three months. During the 1950s and 1960s, Marshall lived in Los Angeles where he raised his son, Roger, and daughter, Nancy. George Marshall also had a career as a leading conservationist. He spent his childhood at along the shores of Saranac Lake, New York, where he and his brother, Bob, climbed all 46 Adirondack peaks taller than 4,000 feet, an accomplishment that made him a charter member of the "46ers." After his brother's early death, Marshall became a trustee of the Robert Marshall Wilderness Fund, which supported conservation activities. Marshall made major contributions for over 50 years to both The Wilderness Society, which was founded by his brother, and the Sierra Club. Throughout those years, he served in many official capacities as well as editing The Wilderness Society's magazine, The Living Wilderness. He also compiled and edited Bob Marshall's notebooks on the Alaskan wilderness and published, Alaska Wilderness: Exploring the Central Brooks Range. Marshall moved to London, England until late in his life and returned to the United States following the death of his wife in 1993. He died on May 2000 in Nyack, New York.
