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.

-'''[[EASTER SNOW]]'''. Irish, Air (3/4 time). F Major (Stanford/Petrie): G Major (Ó Canainn). Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Caoimhin Mac Aoidh explains the title is an English version of the Gaelic name ''Diseart Nuadhain'', a placename in north Roscommon which can today be found in the form of Estersnow (or Diseart Nuadhan, St. Nuadha's Hermitage), a Boyle rural district. Mac Aoidh states that Petrie appears to have literaly translated the English back into Irish as "Sneachia Casga" as an alternate title. The same air is to be found in Brendan Rogers manuscript collection (in the Irish Traditional Music Archive) noted from the performances of attendees at the Feis Ceoil competitions held in Belfast in 1898 and 1900. The musical family the Dohertys of Donegal had a different air by the same title, and the great Donegal piper, Tarlach Mac Suibhne, played a different air than the Dohertys. Mac Suibhne's playing of "Easter Snow" was recorded by the Dublin '''Evening Telegraph''' in 1897, when he was one of seven pipers at the first Feis, held in that city (the title in the newspaper was "Sneachta na Casga"). Finally, regarding this tune, Mac Aoidh notes that fiddler John Doherty personified "Easter Snow" as a woman, Ester Snow, whom he maintained was over six feet tall, very beautiful, and had skin as white as snow (leading to her name). Paddy Tunney, on his album "The Stone Fiddle" wrote:
-<blockquote>
-''EASTER SNOW''<br>
-<br>
-''At twilight in the morning as I roved out upon the dew''<br>
-''With my morning cloak around me intending all my flocks to view''<br>
-''I spied a lovely fair one she seemed to be a beauty bright''<br>
-''And I took her for Diana or the evening star that rules the night''<br>
-<br>
-''I being so much surprised by her it being the forenoon of the day''<br>
-''To see that lovely creature coming o'er the banks of sweet Loughrea''<br>
-''Her snow-white breast lay naked and her cheeks they were a rosy red''<br>
-''And my heart was captivated by the two black eyes rolled in her head''<br>
-<br>
-''Fair maid I cried, your love I crave for Cupid is a cruel foe''<br>
-''I'll roll you in my morning cloak and I'll bring you home to Easter Snow''<br>
-''Go home, acquaint your parents and indeed kind sir, I'll do the same''<br>
-''And if both our parents give consent neither you nor I will bear the blame''......  [from the singing of Mrs. Brigid Tunney]<br>
