Dunn, James Taylor

James Taylor Dunn was born in St. Paul in 1912, the third and youngest son of Alice Monfort and John Warner Grigg Dunn. He attended Saint Paul Academy from 1921 to 1930 and graduated from the Milford School (Milford, Conn.) in 1932. He pursued his college education at Hamilton College (Clinton, N.Y., 1932-1936).

In 1936, Dunn and his two brothers started Globe, a magazine devoted to "travel, romance, adventure, and world interest." Despite contributions from such well-known authors as Ludwig Bemelmans, Vardis Fisher, Langston Hughes, Harrison Salisbury, William Saroyan, Jesse Stuart, William Carlos Williams, and Ezra Pound, Globe folded in 1938 due to editorial and financial difficulties.
