Sydney Porter. He was born in North Carolina in 1862. As a young boy he lived an exciting life. He did
not go to school for very long, but he managed to teach himself everything he needed to know. When he
was about 20 years old, O. Henry went to Texas, where he tried different jobs. He first worked on a newspaper, and then had a job in a bank. When some money went missing from the bank, O. Henry was
believed to have stolen it. Because of that, he was sent to prison. During the three years in prison, he
learned to write short stor
ies. After he got out of prison, he went to New York and continued writing. He wrote mostly about New York and the life of the poor there. People liked his stories, because simple as the tales were, they would finish with a sudden change at the end, to the reader's surprise.
