Known as the Lost Author of the Lost Generation, Thomas Alexander Boyd (1898 - 1935) was an American journalist and novelist. Born in Defiance, Ohio, he was raised by his mother's family due to his father's death before he was born. While still in school, he and a friend enlisted in the US Marine Corps and saw service in France, where he was gassed in 1918. Upon discharge in 1919, Boyd tried several occupations before becoming a writer for newspapers in Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota. He opened a bookstore in St. Paul, which became the locus of literary figures, including Sinclair Lewis. Mentored by F. Scott Fitzgerald and Sinclair Lewis and published under the renowned Scribner editor Maxwell Perkins, he was urged to write and produced the 1923 novel, "Through the Wheat," based in part on his own war experiences. Boyd died suddenly in 1935 of a stroke.
