Prolific American short-story writer, a master of surprise endings, who wrote about the life of ordinary people in New York City. Typical for O. Henry's stories is a twist of plot which turns on an ironic or coincidental circumstance. Although some critics were not so enthusiastic about his work, the public loved it. "It was beautiful and simple as all truly great swindles are."
William Sydney Porter (O. Henry) was born in Greenboro, North Carolina. His father, Algernon Sidney Porter, was a physician. When William was three, his mother died, and he was raised by his parental grandmother and a paternal aunt. William was an avid reader, but at the age of fifteen he left the school, and then worked in a drug store and on a Texas ranch. He continued to Houston, where he had a number of jobs, including that of bank clerk. After moving to Austin, Texas, in 1882, he married. In 1884 Porter started a humorous weekly The Rolling Stone. It was at this time that he began the heavy drinking. When the weekly failed, he joined the Houston Post as a reporter and columnist. In 1894 cash was found to have gone missing from the bank and O. Henry fled to Honduras. He returned to Austin the next year because his wife was dying. In 1897 he was convicted of embezzling bank fund, although there has been much debate over his actual guilt. In 1898 he entered a penitentiary at Columbus, Ohio.

argonaut staff
It is Christmas in New York, but for two young lovers, Jim and Della, the prospects are bleak, as both are out of work and penniless.
Their dilemma is solved when both part with their most precious possessions in order to buy presents for each other-thereby creating, at least for a magical moment, an aura of warmth and giving in the cold, impersonal winter city.
The original story by O. Henry was only four pages. The Lamb's Theatre Company commissioned the "Gift of the Magi" for development. It received its premiere production at the Lamb's Theater in New York City, on December 3, 1984. The play has since been performed all over the country.
O. Henry (1862-1910), is the pseudonym of William Sydney Porter, a noted and prolific American short story writer and master of surprise endings who wrote about the life of ordinary people in New York City. Typical for O. Henry's stories is a twist of plot, which turns on an ironic or coincidental circumstance. Although some critics were not so enthusiastic about his work, the public loved it.
The writer was born in Greensboro, North Carolina. His father, Algernon Sidney Porter, was a physician. When William was three, his mother died. William was an avid reader, but at the age of fifteen he left school to work in a drug store and on a Texas ranch. He continued to Houston, where he had a number of jobs, including that of bank clerk. After moving to Austin, Texas, in 1882, he married.

About the Author
O. Henry (18621910), born William Sidney Porter, in Greensboro, North Carolina. When he was a young man, O. Henry moved to Texas and worked on a ranch for three years. Later, he moved to Houston, worked for a newspaper for a year, then bought a newspaper of his own in Austin, Texas for $250. He was not pleased with his newspaper's title; so he renamed it The Rolling Stone . For a while, he did the writing and even the illustrations, but couldn't keep it up. The Rolling Stone apparently gathered moss and failed. O. Henry worked in the General Land Office and later as a bank teller (1891-94). While at the bank, he was accused of embezzling $5,000. At first, he was cleared of the charges, but later they were brought up again. Before he could be convicted, however, he ran away to New Orleans and eventually to Honduras. O. Henry spent several months moving about Central America in the company of the notorious outlaw, Al Jennings. They lived on the money ($30,000) taken by Jennings in a robbery. After a year, O. Henry returned to the U.S., where he was convicted of embezzlement, and served three years in a penitentiary. It was from prison that he sent out his first stories. After his release, O. Henry moved to New York City and, in 1902, became a short story writer on the staff of the New York

format this article to print
PORTER, WILLIAM SYDNEY In La Salle County, Jesse Leigh Hall, qv a retired Texas Ranger, managed the ranch holdings of the Dull brothers from Pennsylvania. Porter lived on this ranch for two years with Betty and Richard Moore Hall. qv Mrs. Hall was a well-educated woman and had a library that Porter used during these years. While he herded sheep for Dick Hall, Webster's Unabridged Dictionary was his constant companion. During his two years on the ranch, Porter gained a knowledge of ranch life that he later incorporated into many of his short stories. Lee Hall was Porter's prototype for the Texas Ranger who appears in many of the Texas stories. In 1884 the Halls moved to a new ranch in Williamson County, and Porter moved to Austin and lived as a house guest of the Joseph Harrell family for three years. During this time he worked at several jobs and was active in Austin social life. For a time he was a member of the Hill City Quartette. During this time the first recorded use of his pseudonym appeared, allegedly derived from his habit of calling "Oh, Henry" to the family cat. In 1887 Porter began working as a draftsman in the General Land Office
