Finley Peter Dunne
Finley Peter Dunne (July 10, 1867 — April 24, 1936) was an American humorist and writer from Chicago. In 1898 Dunne published ''Mr. Dooley in Peace and War'', a collection of his nationally syndicated Mr. Dooley sketches.〔"Literary Notes." ''The Independent''. New York: March 16, 1899; Vol. 51, Iss. 2624. 771.〕 Speaking with the thick verbiage and accent of an Irish immigrant from County Roscommon, the fictional Mr. Dooley expounded upon political and social issues of the day from his South Side Chicago Irish pub.〔Dunne, Finley Peter. ''Mr. Dooley in Peace and in War''.Boston: Small, Maynard & Company. 1898. vii-xiii〕 Dunne's sly humor and political acumen won the support of President Theodore Roosevelt, a frequent target of Mr. Dooley's barbs.〔Gibson, William M. ''Theodore Roosevelt Among the Humorists: W.D. Howells, Mark Twain, and Mr. Dooley.'' Knoxville: University of Tennessee Press. 1980.〕 Dunne's sketches became so popular and such a litmus test of public opinion that they were read each week at White House cabinet meetings.〔Fanning, Charles. ''Finley Peter Dunne & Mr. Dooley: The Chicago Years.'' Lexington: The University Press of Kentucky. 1978. 199.〕
==Early life==
Dunne was born in Chicago on July 10, 1867, was educated in the Chicago public schools (graduating from high school last in his class), and, at age 17, in 1884, began his newspaper career as a reporter/editor for the ''Chicago Telegram''.〔Lowe, John. "Finley Peter Dunne." ''The Literary Encyclopedia''. 17 July 2001. ()〕 He was then with the ''Chicago News'' from 1884–88, the ''Chicago Times'' in 1888, the ''Chicago Tribune'' in 1889, the ''Chicago Herald'' in 1889, and the ''Chicago Journal'' in 1897. Originally named Peter Dunne, to honor his mother, who had died when he was in high school, he took her family name as his middle name some time before 1886, going by PF Dunne, reversed the two names in 1888, for Finley P. Dunne, and later used simply the initials, FP Dunne.〔Lowe, John. "Finley Peter Dunne." ''The Literary Encyclopedia''. 17 July 2001. ()〕 His sister, Amelia Dunne Hookway, was a prominent educator and high school principal in Chicago; the former Hookway School was named in her honor.
