From the first article:

"Born in Greensboro, NC, Sept. 11, 1862, O. Henry became one of America’s most popular writers of short fiction. His stories, such as The Gift of the Magi, The Last Leaf, and The Ransom of Red Chief, are known for their humor, irony and skillful unfolding of plot, often with a surprise twist at the end."
