Another name for William was HENRY, O. General Notes: William Sydney Porter (O. Henry), 1862-1910
By Jennifer Winborne
Student, University of North Carolina at Pembroke
William Sydney Porter (O. Henry) had first come to Texas in 1882, the same year that Oscar Wilde visited the city in June of that year. Porter spent most of his Texas residence in Austin, but he made visits to San Antonio, such as in late 1894 and 1895, at approximately the same time that Stephen Crane was here. As in the case of Wilde, Porter was patronized by the local journalist H. Ryder-Taylor, who convinced O. Henry that he could make his journal, The Rolling Stone, a national success if he would bring it to San Antonio and enter into a partnership with Ryder-Taylor (Long 74-75). Porter's dealings with Ryder-Taylor, unfortunately, were a mistake, and O. Henry's posthumously published collection of sketches and stories, Rolling Stones (1912), for the most part detracted from his reputation, although the work does contain one or two good stories, such as "A Fog in Santone" (Long 135).

Último texto Os caminhos que tomamos O. Henry
(William Sidney Porter) Vinte milhas para oeste de Tucson o rápido parou ao pé de um depósito para tomar água. Além deste líquido, porém, a máquina daquele comboio adquiriu também outras coisas que lhe não convinham.
Enquanto o fogueiro estava baixando a mangueira de alimentação, o Bob Tidball, o Dodson Tubarão e um índio de raça cruzada chamado João Cão Grande treparam para a máquina e apresentaram ao maquinista os orifícios de três canos de revólver. As possibilidades desses orifícios a tal ponto impressionaram o maquinista que ergueu logo ambas as mãos num gesto do gênero do que acompanha a exclamação: "Conta lá!” ·
À ordem brusca do Dodson Tubarão, que era o comandante da força, o maquinista desceu ao chão e desligou a máquina e o tênder. Então o João Cão Grande, empoleirado no carvão, sorriu por trás de dois revólveres apontados ao ajudante e ao fogueiro, lembrando que corressem a máquina cinqüenta metros pela linha abaixo e ali aguardassem novas ordens.

O Dodson Tubarão e o Bob Tidball, desdenhando proceder à limpeza de minério tão baixo como os passageiros, dedicaram-se ao veio magnífico que era o vagão de valores. Encontraram o guarda envolto na crença firme de que a máquina não estava tomando nada mais forte que água pura. Enquanto o Bob lhe tirava esta idéia da cabeça por meio de uma coronha de revólver, o Dodson Tubarão ocupava-se em ministrar uma dose de dinamite ao cofre do vagão.
