Finley Peter Dunne
(10 Jul 1867 - 24 Apr 1936)
American humorist and journalist who created the character 'Martin Dooley,' a Chicago Irish philosopher-bartender with a thick Irish brogue. The column that began in the home city newspaper shortly spread to national syndication. Dunne wrote more than 700 of these dialect essays, of which collections were later reprinted as books.
