George P. Hunt
There is no known author named 'George P. Hunt'; the query likely conflates two distinct individuals: George W. P. Hunt, the first governor of Arizona (1859–1934), and George Hunt, a pivotal ethnographer of the Kwakiutl people (1854–1933). Neither authored a book titled 'The Coral Comes High' or served as Managing Editor of Life magazine, as those details appear to be fictional or misattributed.
