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.

-The melody appears in the Northumbrian '''Bewick's Pipe Tunes''' as "[[Oh My Nanny]]," although "only the first strains correspond in detail" (Seattle). The melody appears in the '''Drummond Castle Manuscript''' in the possession of the Earl of Ancaster; it is inscribed "A Collection of Country Dances written for the use of his Grace the Duke of Perth by Dav. Young, 1734". Robert Bremner prints a version in his 1757 '''Collection of Scots Reels''', which John Glen (1891), evidently not knowing of Young's MS, thought was the earliest printing. The title also appears in Henry Robson's list (as "Hey, My Nanny, My Nanny") of popular Northumbrian song and dance tunes ("The Northern Minstrel's Budget"), which he published c. 1800. The tune "[[Hunt the Fox]]" in '''Ryan's Mammoth Collection'''/'''Cole's 1000''' is very similar.  There is some thought "Hey My Nanny" may be the ancestor of "[[Drops of Brandy (1)]]." Irish collector Frank Roche's "[[Up in the Garret I am]]" is a distanced version, most similar to the version that the Gows published.
