About the author
Harold Morse Dunphy was an American writer born in 1882 and died in 1949. He is chiefly remembered for One Thousand Ways to Make a Living; or, An Encyclopaedia of Plans to Make Money, a 1919 book listed by the Online Books Page and Project Gutenberg.
That book was presented as a practical guide rather than a promise of easy riches, collecting a wide range of small-business, craft, service, and work ideas for readers looking for useful ways to support themselves. Its appeal today is not only the advice itself, but also the window it opens onto the hopes, hustle, and everyday opportunities of the early 1900s.
Verified biographical details about Dunphy appear to be quite limited in readily available reliable sources, so much of his public legacy rests on this single substantial work and its continued circulation in digital libraries.
