Climbing for White Goats
Article · 5 pages
A May 1894 Scribner's Magazine article by George Bird Grinnell on the mountain goat of the western American and Canadian ranges. It describes the animal's habitat, range, coat, and climbing ability, and narrates hunting trips in the Rocky Mountains. It includes engraved illustrations. Textile content is limited to a short passage noting that the goat's fine white underwool is woven into blankets by British Columbia Indians, with the yarn hand-twisted on the knee and woven on a simple loom.
