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.

-'''LADIES HORNPIPE [2], THE'''. Scottish, Hornpipe. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABBCCDD. The tune is attributed to Captain Donald Ross "D.R." MacLennan [http://www.pipetunes.ca/composers.asp?pg=Details&composerID=24] (1901-1984), the less famous younger half-brother of Pipe Major G.S. McLennan, who one of the seminal figures of Highland bagpiping, and a cousin to the almost equally famous Highland dancer and piper William McLennan. It was William McLennan who impressed fiddler-composer J. Scott Skinner, and who died in Canada while on tour with him.

-D.R. MacLennan originally entitled the piece "[[Joe McGann's Fiddle]]," although it was published in the '''Scots Guards''' (1954) settings as "The Ladies Hornpipe", without composer credits.  D.R. was a competitor in piobaireachd (a gold medalist), a reed maker and composer.

-The tune is popular with Cape Breton fiddlers.
