George M. was the owner and proprietor of a popular tavern in 1850s Baltimore. One evening a regular by the name of William Legrand began buying rounds for the house.

Literary comment[]
The name George M. is an allusion to both Aloysius P. Cohan, the bartender from Tales from Gavagan's Bar (1953) by Fletcher Pratt and L. Sprague de Camp, and historical composer George M. Cohan (1878-1942).
