- Johann Paul Dresser, Jr. (April 22, 1857 – January 31, 1906) was an important American songwriter of the late 19th century and early 20th century. As a child and adolescent he had a number of run-ins with the law and spent several months in jail before joining a band of traveling minstrels. He grew in fame and began performing in several regional theaters before joining John Hamlin's national show in 1878. He continued traveling nationally with a number of different acts, eventually joining the The Tin Soldier in 1890. There he began writing many prominently featured songs which led him to begin publishing music independently. Starting a partnership with New York City's Tin Pan Alley music firms, he began composing a series of songs which included some that became amongst the most popular songs of his time. The most famous of these was "On the Banks of the Wabash, Far Away", which became the second best-selling song, in terms of sheet music, during the nineteenth century. He became very wealthy from his business and works, but quickly fell into financial distress at the turn of the century as his genre fell out of style and his income dropped, a situation exacerbated because of his overspending. His business failed and he declared bankruptcy in 1905. He died the following year.
