Autor

William Henry "Will" Irwin (September 14, 1873 - February 24, 1948) was an American author, writer and journalist who was associated with the muckrakers. Irwin wrote articles, some in the muckraking style until the outbreak of World War I. He sailed to Europe in August 1914 as one of the first American correspondents. During and after World War I Irwin wrote 17 more books, including a biography of Herbert Hoover; a history of Paramount Pictures and its founder, Adolph Zukor, The House That Shadows Built (1928); and his autobiography, The Making of a Reporter (1942). He also wrote two plays and continued magazine writing. He was married to the feminist author Inez Haynes Irwin, who published under the name Inez Haynes Gilmore, author of Angel Island (1914) and The Californiacs (1916). The Irwins summered in Scituate, Massachusetts, in the early 1900s. Will Irwin wrote a story in 1914 for The American Magazine about summer life in Scituate. He died in 1948, at the age of 74.
