1900. American journalist and humorist who came into prominence when he wrote a series of satirical observations and reflections attributed to an honest Irish-American, Martin Dooley, the shrewd philosopher of Archey Road, on social and political topics of the day for the Chicago Journal. The first published collection, Mr. Dooley in Peace and in War, was followed by several others, similar in subject-matter and method, including Mr. Dooley in the Hearts of his Countrymen, Mr. Dooley's Philosophy, Mr. Dooley's Opinions, Observations by Mr. Dooley and Dissertations by Mr. Dooley. These books made their author widely known as the creator of a delightfully original character, and as a humorist of shrewd insight.
