[20:31.48]Born in North Carolina in 1862, William Sidney Porter,
[20:37.93]this master of short stories is much better known under his pen name “O. Henry”.
[20:44.49]His only formal education was received at the school of his Aunt Lina,
[20:49.86]where he developed a lifelong love of books.
[20:53.25]In his uncle's drugstore, he became a licensed pharmacist and was also known for his sketches
[21:00.14]and cartoons of the townspeople of Greensboro.
[21:03.31]At the age of twenty, Porter came to Texas primarily for health reasons and worked on a sheep farm.
[21:10.97]It was here that Porter gained a knowledge for farm life
[21:15.24]that he later described in many of his short stories.
[21:18.30]In 1884, Porter moved to Austin. For the next three years,
[21:24.21]he roomed in the home of the Joseph Harrell family and held several jobs.
[21:29.13]It was during this time that Porter first used his pen name,
[21:33.61]O. Henry said to be derived from his frequent calling of “Oh, Henry”,
[21:39.52]the family cat. In 1891, Porter resigned and became a teller with the First National Bank in Austin.
[21:48.08]After a few years, however,
[21:50.49]he left the bank and began to write for several magazines.
[21:54.54]Meanwhile, Porter was accused of appropriating funds dating back to his employment at the First National Bank.
[22:02.30]In early 1898, Porter was found guilty of the banking charges and sentenced to five years.
[22:10.39]From this low point in Porter's life, he began a remarkable comeback.
[22:15.75]Three years later, he emerged from prison as “O. Henry” to help shield his true identity.
[22:22.54]He moved to New York, where over the next ten years before his death in 1910,
[22:28.99]he published over 300 stories and gained worldwide acclaim as America's favorite short story writer.
[22:37.08]Now the passage will be read again.
