SODGET OF BILLINGS Wit and Monterey humorist Shaw
Henry W. Shaw died in Monterey Cal at about seventy. He left an enduring fortune from humorous writings, second only to Mark Twain among American humorists, with a notable rise after adopting phonetic spelling. His works include The Delectable Oyster and The Interesting Frog, reflecting satire and playful verse from the late 19th century.
