A short 1870s magazine article on mohair, the fiber from the Angora goat. It describes the fiber's qualities (strength, luster, dye uptake), its use in place of silk in Irish poplins, and the trade in fleeces from Asia Minor and England. It then traces the introduction and breeding of Angora goats in the United States (South Carolina, Georgia, California and the Pacific states) and at the Cape of Good Hope.
