Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique and expensive breed, angora goats are prized for their gorgeous, silky mohair. Originating in what was formerly known as Angora, the Ankara area of Turkey, these goats have a long history that is intricately linked to both textile manufacturing and human civilization. Historical Origins Evidence suggests that Angora goats were domesticated around 10,000 years ago, coinciding with the domestication of sheep. The history of these animals spans many centuries. But the Ankara area of Turkey is probably where the selective breeding that resulted in the unique Angora breed that we know today started. The silky, glossy coats of these goats were highly desired for their ability to spin mohair, an opulent fiber recognized for its brightness, smoothness, and thermal qualities. Mohair: The Royalty's Cloth Mohair used to be so precious that only royalty and the wealthiest members of society could afford it at different points in history. To preserve a monopoly on the superior fiber, the manufacturing process was kept a closelyguarded secret, and exporting these goats from Turkey was banned for an extended period of time. Despite these limitations, mohair became more and more popular across Europe, especially among the nobility of France, who appreciated the fabric's gloss and smoothness.

This book was released on 2016-08-30 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Information Concerning the Angora Goat It may not be out of place in this connection to remark that great credit is due to Dr. Davis, of South Carolina, for the enterprise he exhibited in the introduction of the goat to this country. He was at the time in the employ of the Turkish Govern ment, at a salary of engaged in experiments upon the growing of cotton in the Sultan's dominions. He went out upon the recommendation of President Polk, to whom an application was made by the Turkish Government for the services of some competent Southern gentleman familiar with cotton culture. While there he determined to procure the goat from its native wilds. The story of the journey would be too tedious for my brief letter, and I will merely add that, with an expensive outfit at Constantinople, a perilous journey of months, and the loss of many men and camels, he succeeded in capturing and carrying off eleven of the famous animals, whose eeces, in the Shape of shawls, are so highly prized and coveted by the ladies of all civilized nations and for which prices almost startling have been paid by the wealthy. Such a tale of fortitude and determination, added to the information in another paragraph in the same letter which stated that the entire yield of the particular ock about which he was then writing had been engaged in the city of New York at per pound, from which point it was to be shipped to Paisley, Scotland, for manufacture into the shawls mentioned above, no doubt assisted in the sale of goats at each. In 1863, Hon. George A. Porter, of Baltimore, himself a breeder of Angoras, wrote to Mr. Diehl that, while occupying the post of United States consul at Constantinople, he procured and shipped for Dr. Davis the first of these goats that were ever brought to this coun try. Just how much Mr. Porter was acting upon the courtesy of the Sultan it is difficult to ascertain. Of the nine Angoras imported by Dr. Davis, seven were does and two were bucks. Besides these, according to Colonel Peters, there came in the same lot one purebred Tibet doe, several head of crosses between the Angora and Tibet goats, and quite a number of grade does bred from the common short-haired ewes of the country and his Angora buc (s.
