William Sydney Porter (a.k.a. William Sidney Porter) William Sydney Porter was born in Greensboro, North Carolina on September 11, 1862. His father was a doctor in the post-Civil War depression in the South. Growing up in Greensboro, Porter developed a love of books at the school run by his Aunt Lina. At the age of 15, he left the school to work in his uncle's pharmacy. While in Greensboro, he became known for his sketches and cartoons. At the age of 20, he moved to Texas and began working on a sheep ranch. Shortly thereafter, he moved to Houston, where he was a bank clerk, and then on to Austin, Texas. While in Austin, he held many jobs: from land office draftsman to teller for the First National Bank to founder, in 1884, of a humorous but unsuccessful weekly, The Rolling Stone, to columnist for the Houston Daily Post. In 1894, he was accused of embezzling cash from the First National Bank where he had worked years before. O. Henry fled to Honduras, leaving his wife and daughter in Austin. However, he returned to Austin the next year because of his wife's poor health and pending death. In 1897, he was convicted of embezzling the bank funds and sentenced to five years in a penitentiary in Columbus, Ohio.

The Cop and the Anthem By O. Henry [William Sydney Porter] On his bench in Madison Square Soapy moved uneasily. When wild goose honk high of nights, and when women without sealskin coats grow kind to their husbands, and when Soapy moves uneasily on his bench in the park, you may know that winter is near at hand. The hibernatorial ambitions of Soapy were not of the highest. In them were no considerations of Mediterranean cruises, of soporific Southern skies or drifting in the Vesuvian Bay. Three months on the Island was what his soul craved. Three months of assured board and bed and congenial company, safe from Boreas and bluecoats, seemed to Soapy the essence of things desirable. Soapy, having decided to go to the Island, at once set about accomplishing his desire. There were many easy ways of doing this. The pleasantest was to dine luxuriously at some expensive restaurant; and then, after declaring insolvency, be handed over quietly and without uproar to a policeman. An accommodating magistrate would do the rest. Soapy turned off Broadway. It seemed that his route to the coveted island was not to be an epicurean one. Some other way of entering limbo must be thought of.

31. William Sydney Porter 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

Postbellum America, 1866-1913: William Sydney Porter (O. Henry), 1862-1910 By Jennifer Winborne Student, University of North Carolina at Pembroke Two themes that are trademarks of William Sydney Porter’s stories are his reversal of the narrative and his reversal of a character’s 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 Bibliography http://www.nagasaki-gaigo.ac.jp/ishikawa/amlit/o/ohenry19re.htm
