A.B. Meek

1814-1865

A.B. Meek, a prominent figure in 19th-century Alabama, was a multifaceted individual whose accomplishments spanned literature, law, politics, and journalism. As an avid reader and aspiring poet, Meek's literary interests were evident from a young age, leading him to publish poems in various Southern literary newspapers. His involvement in politics saw him serve in state legal offices, become a law clerk for a notable figure in the United States Treasury, and hold positions in the Alabama state legislature. In addition, Meek established and edited newspapers, including The Southron, and authored works such as The Red Eagle, a poem centered on the Creek War of 1813. Despite his contributions, Meek's ambitious endeavor to write a history of Alabama remained unpublished.
