The Lonely Grave Of O Henry

[@lisakoon4966]

Learn something new everyday. Thank you

[@tzap8729]

I’ve heard of him; I had to read The Gift of the Magi in high school. Didn’t know his real name or how he died. Thanks for the post.

Nice,informative presentation.O. Henry stories were part of Lit. curriculum in my high school my Junior year.I enjoyed all of his short stories that were assigned reading.The setting of "The Ransom of Red Chief" is in my native State.The name of the fictitious town that the story takes place in is very similar to an actual town in a County that borders mine.I believe that the fictitious town,Summit,Alabama may be in reference to the small town of Sumiton,Alabama.Mr. Porter was a gifted writer.It's sad that he died so young.

haven't heard the authors name mentioned since school in the early 1980's, loved the short bio. always liked the fun name O Henry

[@lindagibson9528]

No...I thought you were talking about the candy bar lol! Even tho I have read the book you mentioned...very good book. Thank for sharing Chris. Safe travels!

[@gbosearcher-3686]

I am from Greensboro, the local history museum has or had a diorama of the pharmacy he worked in. Well known in the area.

[@donnaboisen6003]

I have never heard of him. But I was ready to go to the store and buy a candy bar in support of him. I thought he was the man that made the candy bar. 🍫

[@carolynpurser7469]

Yes, I've heard of O. Henry and knew his real name. I did not know he was from North Carolina. Once again learned something new.😊

[@neitajames6029]

Yes I have heard of him and have read some of his work. I think turning himself in and taking care of his wife was a good thing. It showed he really did care for her. I'm a avid reader and I love reading true history. I was wondering when you said his name was it the same guy.👍 thanks for telling this. Many have either forgotten or never heard of him. Neita. 🙂👋👣.

[@bigdog593]

Ive actually read some of his work many years ago you can still find alot in your local library im 72 and had forgotten about him until a few months ago

[@southerngirl3756]

Yes I had there is a hotel named O'Henry in Greensboro, NC where i live in.❤ And a neighborhood named after him.

[@lisad476]

O Henry ruled. Loved his stuff and have read it over and over

[@jeanaesamuel47]

No just the yummy candy. What a sad but beautiful story❤

[@maryleacy5664]

I haven't ever heard of him.

[@sandywright5466]

Years ago I had the complete works of O Henry. I remember reading that book until it fell apart.

[@Mithra-bl7nv]

Always loved his work. So clever. Such a shame alcohol got the better of him. RIP Mr. Henry.

[@vanessahall5282]

Nope, I hadn't heard of him before but interesting.

[@audra1976oliver]

As soon as I heard O Henry I thought it was going to be about a candy maker with that name. I have a BA in English and never heard of him. Never came across his work. Lots of authors have written from prison. Thanks for sharing about him. I'll have to read some of his work.

[@Whittdocs]

Hey Audra. So neat that you’re an English major!

[@audra1976oliver]

@Whittdocs almost finished my masters in English but life happens and wasn't able to.

[@hazelwears8728]

Nope I thought you were talking about the man who developed the candy .

[@GlitterandBats]

I've heard of him for most of my adult life.

[@marycaffrey8323]

No but I've heard of O Henry the candy bar

[@adilsonrocha4970]

🙏❤️🙏

[@frankschultz4170]

We had to read his stories in high school (1950s - 60).

[@marlenepearson3936]

I have definitely read his short stories. 🎉

[@lockjaw255]

I have read most of his works. I’ve been to his grave. It’s so unassuming, I first walked past it.

[@sharonobryan9713]

Love O Henry.

[@nicoleburton8092]

I had heard of him but didn't know all of the information you provided. Another well done video

[@johnpeddicord4932]

Enjoyed

[@jbenziggy]

I knew about O Henry because of a video that I l did on the outlaw Al Jennings. The two of them met in prison at Leavenworth and one of Henry’s first short stories was called Robbing a Train based on the stories he heard from Jennings in prison. Thought you might like to know.

[@Whittdocs]

That is very interesting. Thanks so much for sharing it.

[@susan5301]

This was so interesting! Thanks for sharing! ♥

[@Corgis175]

Definitely a familiar name although I cannot recall if I read any of his works. Handsome fellow, so sad with the jailing and early death. RIP.

[@scottrider641]
