Dunne, Finley Peter (sh)




born July 10, 1867, Chicago, Ill., U.S.
died April 24, 1936, New York, N.Y.

U.S. journalist and humorist.

A son of Irish immigrants, Dunne began contributing Irish-dialect sketches to Chicago newspapers in 1892. In these he created the character Martin Dooley, who commented on Current Events in a rich Irish brogue. Mr. Dooley soon became a force for clear thinking and tolerance in public affairs. Dunne wrote more than 700 dialect essays, some of which were republished in eight volumes, including Mr. Dooley in Peace and War and Mr. Dooley's Philosophy, from 1898 to 1919.
