Description

From the Nye County, Nevada Photograph Collection (PH-00221) -- Series VII. Other areas in Nye County -- Subseries VII.C. Fallini Family (Twin Springs, Nevada). Fallini is pictured with a pet hen he called his “Crople”, meaning cripple; the little hen had broken her leg, and the story goes, a fellow was going to chop off her head. Fallini, a compassionate man who enjoyed doctoring animals, made a splint for the little hen's leg and nursed her back to health. Though she walked with a "funny hop" thereafter, she followed Fallini around like a dog.
