Thomas Meech
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thomas Cox Meech (1868-20 October 1940) was an English journalist, author and lawyer.
Born in Beaminster and educated at Ardingly College, Meech was initially intent on becoming a lawyer but instead turned to journalism, becoming editor of Ayrshire Post, Lancashire Daily Post and the Northern Echo. His first novel Only a Collier appeared (as by Tom Meech) was published in 1890 and he wrote a number of books, including biographies of Thomas Burt and William McKinley and a history of the British Isles called This Generation (1927-28). With Ladbroke Black he wrote several books under the pen name Paul Urquhart.
