Brief annotation

William Sidney Porter, who wrote under the pseudonym O. Henry (1862 - 1910), is an American writer who is a master of short storytelling.
The future writer was left without his mother early, and at the age of fifteen he dropped out of school and enrolled as an apprentice in a pharmacy shop, where he got a profession as a pharmacist, later worked as a draftsman, accountant and cashier in a bank.
The first literary experiments date back to the early 1880s, when Porter began publishing a humorous weekly in Austin, filling him with his essays, drawings, jokes. Due to lack of money a year later, the magazine closed. Porter was soon fired from the bank, charged with embezzlement, and spent three years in prison, never ceasing to write stories. After his release, Porter moved to New York, and his stories quickly gained popularity with readers, and critics began to call the writer "American Gogol, "American Chekhov".
In total, O. Henry has written 273 stories, the complete collection of his works is 18 volumes.
Heroes of stories O. Henry cowboys and millionaires, speculators and clerks, bandits and politicians, writers and laundrettes - people taken from life, bright and colorful. Intricate stories certainly end in an unexpected denouement.
In the story "The Chief of the Redskins" two crooks, Sam and Bill, kidnap a nine-year-old boy, hoping to get a ransom for him from his father. But the boy, who calls himself the Chief of the Redskins, does not want to return home ...
The collection includes stories from different years.
