On November 24, 1874, Joseph F. Glidden of DeKalb, Illinois, was granted a patent for fencing material consisting of barbs wrapped around a single strand of wire and held in place by twisting that strand around another. His original double-strand design, the Winner, lived up to its name; it is the most commercially successful of the hundreds of eventual barbed wire designs. Glidden was also the winner in a welter of litigation that reached all the way to the Supreme Court after some dozen other inventors claimed legal priority. Barbed wire was not immediately successful in Texas and elsewhere, especially with smaller cattle ranchers who depended on an 'open range' to sustain their operations. Their opposition led to the barbed wire conflicts of the 1880's, but eventually the ranges were fenced off. Although open range became a thing of the past, barbed wire helped cattlemen to breed herds in protected environments, thus negating the reliance on long-horned cattle that were more suitable to the open range.

-'''[[Miss_Sarah_Drummond_of_Perth_(1) | MISS SARAH DUMMOND OF PERTH (1)]]'''. AKA and see “[[Calum Crubach]],” “[[Danse Écossaise]],” “[[Devil Shake the Half-Breed (2)]],” “[[Gurren’s Castle]],” "[[Miss Drummond of Perth (1)]],” “[[Mountain Reel (4)]]," “[[Our Highland Cousins]],” “[[Paddy Joe’s Highland Fling]],” “[[Perth Highland Fling (The)]],” "[[Prince of Wales Jig (The)]],” “[[Titanic Highland (The)]],” “[[Yorkshire Bite (1)]]." Scottish, Strathspey. A Minor. Standard tuning. AAB. Composer credit for the tune was claimed by Niel Gow {1727-1807} (in his 1807 '''Third Collection''', second edition), however the tune appears under the full title (i.e. referencing Sarah Drummond) in Malcolm MacDonald's 2nd collection (1789, the volume dedicated to the Earl of Breadalbane). No composer was given credit to MacDonald by Gow. It also appears in John and Andrew Gow’s A Collection of Slow Airs, Strathspeys and Reels (London, c. 1795). Andrew (1760-1803) and younger brother John (1764-1826), sons of Niel, established a publishing business in London in 1788 and were the English distributors for the Gow family musical publications. The melody has currency among Cape Breton fiddlers. In Donegal it is set as a Highland (see, for example, Hugh Gillespie’s “[[Gurren’s Castle]]”) or as a fling. Quebec fiddler Joseph Allard recorded the tune as “[[Danse Écossaise]].”
