Humorous Shoemaker Johannes Schmidt and Twin Plot
A long comical tale from a Clark County locale centers on Johannes Schmidt, a young shoemaker, and Katrina as they describe a quarrel over having twins. The piece blends local humor with a drunken episode in Lachman’s saloon and ends with a rattling note about Pyramid Lake exploration and whisky recovery plans in Arkansas rivers.
