He became involved in geography after teaching and realizing that there were so many poor quality geographical resources available to teachers. He was in Philadelphia when he founded his company. His son, S. Augustus Mitchell, became owner in 1860. Their publications covered all genres of geography: maps, travel guides, textbooks, and more.
