Alpaca
Woven throughout the text is the human story of the alpaca in the biographies
of Julio Barreda, one of the world's most highly regarded alpaca breeders, and
Frank Webster Michell, innovative textile producer, both of whom contributed to
the modern market for alpaca fiber. Safley traces Barreda's life from his
introduction to alpacas at six yearsof age, through the years of governmental
reform and bloody terrorism, to his determined and systematic improvement of
his herd. Michell, an Englishman, came to Peru looking for chinchilla, and
stayed to create a fully integrated alpaca textile producing industry that
keeps the income from this lovely fiber in Peru. Drawn from days of personal
interviews, family documents and old herd records, Safley's insight is of
inestimable value to those interested in alpaca.
