A short fiction piece from New England Magazine, 1895, by Charles Howard Shinn. It tells of Jan Jansen, a Danish-educated Californian who loses his family fortune in a county-seat speculation and a bank default, and loses his sweetheart in Copenhagen. He then lives out his life as a sheep-herder and self-taught naturalist in the Sierras and Kern River country. The story has no textile or weaving content beyond the sheep-herding setting.
