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 is that of the song "Bonnets of Bonnie Dundee", printed in George Farquhar Graham's '''Songs of Scotland''', often "erroneously called 'Bonnie Dundee' thus confounding it with a much finer slow air of the the olden time, found in the Skene MS. (1935?), and now sung to 'Mary of Castlecary" (Graham, p. 373). Graham also notes that "Bonnie Dundee (2)" "was known in Edinburgh about fifty years ago as 'The band at a distance;' it was much played by young ladies, the mode being to begin ''pianissimo'', gradually increase the sound to ''fortissimo'', and then die away as the band was supposed to recede into the distance." It became associated sometime around the 1840's with Sir Walter Scott's poem "Bonny Dundee," and the new title stuck, probably due to the singer Miss Dolby (later Madame Sainton Dolby), according to Reginald Nettle ('''Sing a Song of England''', 1954, p. 203). It became well known in north Britain, says Nettle, as an accompaniment to a children's game, and was collected to Loch Awe by Anne Gilchrist, who heard it sung by girls from Loanhead and Lossiemoutrh at Lochchan, September, 1900:

-<blockquote>
-''My name is sweet Mary, my age is sixteen,''<br>
-''My father's a farmer on yonder green;''<br>
-''He's plenty of money to dress me in silks,''<br>
-''For there's nae bonny laddie to tak' me awa.''
-</blockquote>
-At Southport, Lancashire, girls also sang the song, albeit without some of the Scottishisms (see abc below):
-<blockquote>
-''Queen Mary, Queen Mary, my age is sixteen,''<br>
-''My father's a farmer in yonder green;''<br>
-''With plenty of money to dress me in silk,''<br>
-''Come along, bonny lassie, and give me a waltz.''
-</blockquote>
-Nettle then records:
-<blockquote>
-"Some of us may remember Hemy's Pianoforte Tutor, which had an enormous vogue for over a century, though few of us ever tried to'' ''find out who Hemy was. Henry Hemy was organist at a Roman Catholic Church in Newcastle upon Tyne, and he wanted a tune for the'' ''hymn, Hail, Queen of Heaven, the Ocean Star. The word 'star' made him think of the Latin stella, and Stella was the name of a'' ''village four miles from Newcastle, where Hemy had heard children singing the tune Sweet Mary or Queen Mary, and with Mary he'' ''associated the Virgin Mary; Ave maris stella-the circle was complete. He adapted the children's tune to the hymn and named the'' ''tune Stella.''
-</blockquote>
-The dance version of "Bonny Dundee" was cited as having been frequently played at country dances in Orange County, New York, in the 1930's (Lettie Osborn, '''New York Folklore Quarterly''').
