The Furrier's Story: Louis Schumacher, part 1 of 2 parts (WPA oral history interview)

Summary: On Jan. 3, 1939, Federal Writers Project worker Andrew Sherbert sat down with a slim, quick-moving gray haired 70-year-old furrier/pelt buyer named Louis Schumacher to talk about Mr. Schumacher's recollections of coming to Portland from Baden, Germany, and establishing a business buying the pelts and furs that trappers and mountain-man types would bring him to sell after their travels in the Oregon wilderness.
