WILLIAM SYDNEY PORTER (O. HENRY), 1862-1910: Rolling Stones
William Sydney Porter (O. Henry) 18621910. O. Henry was the pen-name of WilliamSydney Porter (1862-1910), one of the most famous short-story writers.
http://www.ompersonal.com.ar/omlibrary/ohenry.htm

Extractions: O. Henry was the pen-name of William Sydney Porter (1862-1910) one of the most famous short-story writers. His life was a tragic one because he was sentenced to five years in prison accused of fraudulent appropriation of funds at the bank where he worked as a cashier. In spite of this, life gave him a profound knowledge of human character, especially of inhabitants in big cities who are unfortunate in life. As a story-teller, he is remarkable for his ingenuity in the use of ironical coincidences, for his skilful plots and because he was particularly clever at writing stories with an unexpected ending.

Extractions: Ayn Rand [1905-82] W illiam Sidney [later spelled Sydney] Porter was born 11 September 1862 in Greensboro, North Carolina. Under the pen name of 'O. Henry' he wrote nearly 300 short stories. He may not have invented the 'twist' ending, but his 'entertainments', with their irony and compassion and, some might say, old-fashioned sentiment, were and still are widely admired, and his reputation in American letters remains secure to this day, nearly a century later. H e left school at 15 to work, then at 19 moved to Texas, where he worked on a sheep ranch and breaking bronchosand other jobs. He moved to Austin, Texas in 1884, working at a land office and at a bank. In July of 1887, he eloped to marry beautiful Athol Estes; she bore him a son, who died within hours, then a daughter, Margaret in 1889. Irregularities discovered in his accounts at the bank in October 1894 caused him to flee, to Houston, where he worked at a newspaper. Imminent prosecution led him to flee again, leaving wife and child behind, to New Orleans and then to Honduras. H e returned to America in January 1897 upon learning that his wife was seriously ill, and soon after her death was convicted on a federal charge of embezzlement, although the government's case was weak. The three years and three months that he spent in prison in Ohio cast a shadow on his later life, and is cited as the reason for his pen name and for his insistence that his editors keep his identity secret.

Biography Of William Sydney Porter
William Sydney Porter. 18621910 He used several pseudonyms, but upon hisearly release for good behavior, he chose to write as O. Henry.
http://www.ncwriters.org/wporter.htm

Extractions: The most popular short story writer of his era, William Sydney Porter was born on Polecat Creek in Guilford County, and raised and educated in Greensboro by an unmarried aunt who ran a private school. Young William Sydney Porter worked in an uncle's drug store until he moved at nineteen to Texas where he held a variety of jobs including paying and receiving teller at the First National Bank of Austin. To supplement his income, he wrote free-lance sketches, and was briefly editor and co-owner of a humorous weekly called The Rolling Stone . While he was working as a columnist for the Houston Daily Post , Porter was indicted for the embezzlement of bank funds during his time as a teller. His trial was delayed for two years first by his escape to New Orleans and Honduras, then by his wife's illness and death. Although it is not known for certain whether Porter was an embezzler or merely an incompetent bookkeeper, he was sentenced to five years in the Ohio Penitentiary. His jobs as the prison's night druggist and as secretary to the steward allowed him time to write, and he published his first short story from prison under a pen name. He used several pseudonyms, but upon his early release for good behavior, he chose to write as O. Henry. Porter moved to New York City in 1902, ostensibly to obtain material, although for the next few years his work continued to reflect his experiences in the southwest and Central America. All but 16 of the 115 stories he wrote in 1904 and 1905 dealt with New York, and on the publication of his second book

Postbellum America, 18661913 William Sydney Porter (O. Henry), 1862-1910.By Jennifer Winborne Student, University of North Carolina at Pembroke
http://www.uncp.edu/home/canada/work/allam/18661913/lit/porter.htm

Extractions: Student, University of North Carolina at Pembroke Two themes that are trademarks of William Sydney Porters stories are his reversal of the narrative and his reversal of a characters nature. In simple terms Porter begins a story in one direction and just when the reader thinks they can predict the ending, he sends it in a totally different direction. In his stories, people who are characterized as one thing, often are the complete opposite. An example of these two themes can be found in the short story The Princess and the Puma . Josefa O'Donnell, a princess, is a pistol wearing, roping, riding cowgirl, which is a total reversal of the princess archetype. In reading this story the reader thinks that the hero, Ripley Givens, will save the princess from a mountain lion that is crouched waiting to spring on her at a watering hole. Instead Porter sends the narrative in a whole new direction, where instead she supposedly saves him from the mountain lion and does not marry him at the end of the story. One technique that is typical of Porter is his surprise endings. In The Princess and the Puma http://www.nagasaki-gaigo.ac.jp/ishikawa/amlit/o/ohenry19re.htm
