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.

-'''[[Kendal_House|KENDAL HOUSE]]'''.  English, Country Dance Tune (2/4 time). B Flat Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody, like many in Charles and Samuel Thompson's 1757 collection, first appeared in John Johnson's Choice Collection of 200 Favourite Country Dances, vol. 6 (London, 1751). The tune also appears in the 1788 music manuscript copybook shared by John and William Pitt Turner, of Norwich, Conn. Kendal House, Isleworth, Middlesex, was the residence of the rather notorious Ermengarde de Schulenburg (1667-1743), Dutchess of Kendal, and mistress of King George I, with whom she had three illegitimate children. She had been maid of honor to Sophia, Electress of Hanover, and began her affair with George while they were still in Germany (where he was the Elector of Hanover). Sophia and George divorced in 1694, and she was kept imprisoned for the rest of her life, while the mistress accompanied him to England. Ermengarde arranged an introduction with a youthful Horace Walpole and the monarch, and was uncharitably described by the former as "a very tall, lean, ill-favoured old lady." In Germany she was called "The Scarecrow" and in England, "The Maypole." Upon her death, Kendal House became a public park or place of amusement, where one could fish on the grounds, stroll among tree-lined rural paths and formal gardens, and enjoy entertainment in the house itself, which boasted a well-lit longroom of some sixty feet for dancing.
