George Thomas Lanigan (10 December 1845 or 10 December 1846〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://rpo.library.utoronto.ca/poets/lanigan-george-thomas )〕 - 5 February 1886) (variously Lannigan) was a Canadian journalist and poet. George Lanigan was born in 1845 or 1846 in Saint-Charles-sur-Richelieu, Quebec. He studied in Montreal and worked as a telegrapher before he became a writer and journalist. In 1867, Lanigan founded the ''Free Lance'', a weekly satirical magazine. At the same time, Lanigan worked at the Montreal Gazette as a sports editor, where he met Hugh Graham, 1st Baron Atholstan. Lord Atholstan became a business partner for the Free Lance from late 1868 on, until it ceased publication in March 1869. On 16 January 1869, they, perhaps together with journalist Thomas Marshall, created the ''Evening Star'', which changed its name to the ''Star'' in 1877 and ''The Montreal Star'' in 1881. It was a one-cent daily specializing in sensational news and scandals, and did not win favour with the educated public of Montreal. Lanigan sold his share in the ''Star'' and moved to the United States, first working for the ''New York World'' and then moving on to Philadelphia where he worked for ''The Philadelphia Record''. Lanigan married Bertha Spink, editor of the Ladies Home Journal, and the sister of Alfred Henry Spink. They had four children, including baseball statistician Ernest Lanigan, and newspaper sports editor and baseball writer Harold Lanigan. He died in Pennsylvania in 1886. ==Works== *1864: ''Canadian Ballads'' (translations of French-Canadian ballads) *1878: ''Fables out of the World'' (under the pen name George Washington Aesop) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「George T.
