Shaw's notable works include the historical novels "The Man from Glengarry" (1892), "When the Saints Go Marching" (1894), and "The Son of a Fiddler" (1905). His short stories were widely published in magazines and collected in volumes such as "Midsummer Madness" (1891) and "Irish Nonsense Verses" (1895).
