William Sydney Porter, known as O. Henry, was an American author celebrated for his short stories, often characterized by unexpected conclusions. "Heart of the West" presents a compilation of tales focusing on the American West. These narratives explore the lives of sheepherders, cowpunchers, cooks, prospectors, outlaws, and Texas Rangers, providing readers insight into a frequently mythologized era. Many stories delve into comic romantic rivalries, possibly reflecting the author's own experiences in sparsely populated areas.
