Excerpt from Furs and Fur Garments

Origin of the use of fur in costume - Mentioned in Scripture - Its great antiquity - The red dye - Dyed rams - The Bairam ram - Byzantine and Venetian ladies - A red terrier - The legend of the Golden Fleece - Medea - The Amazons.

The use of the skins of wool and fur bearing animals as convenient and readily adapted clothing, goes back to the remotest antiquity, even to the days of our first parents, who made themselves garments with the skins of beasts. This costume is common among all savage and half-civilized nations in cold, temperate and semi-tropical climates.
