Finley Peter Dunne was an American humorist and writer from Chicago. In 1898 Dunne published Mr. Dooley in Peace and in War, a collection of his nationally syndicated Mr. Dooley sketches.
Speaking with the thick verbiage and accent of an Irish immigrant from County Ros common, the fictional Mr. Dooley expounded upon political and social issues of the day from his South Side Chicago Irish pub.
