  • One hundred years after this recording was made, O. Henry's voice speaks to us with all the color and personality contained in his stories. What a fabulous bit of Americana. Thank you for making it available.

  • Fantastic discovery! I thought I had heard every known "celebrity" recording from the early sound era, but I never knew about this one. He sounds the way I'd expect Mark Twain to sound, which surprised me. (I always associated O. Henry with New York.) Then I read that he was born in NC and raised in Texas. That explains the drawl. Thanks for posting this rare recording!
