Dunant, (Jean) Henri (1828-1910). A Swiss author and philanthropist, founder of the Red Cross society. He was born in Geneva and conceived the idea of founding a society for aiding wounded soldiers while visiting the scene of the battle of Solferino. He wrote "Un Souvenir de Solferino" in 1862, and delivered lectures advocating relief in war before the society of public utility in Geneva. Soon afterward a meeting was held in that city which resulted in the Geneva Convention (1864) and the establishment of a permanent international committee. In 1864 the cooperation of 10 governments had been obtained, and the Red Cross society was officially established (Aug. 22, 1864). Dunant bestowed his entire fortune on various charities. In 1901 he shared the first Nobel peace prize with Frederic Passy
