TEXAS BARBED WIRE. AKA - "Texas Barbwire." American, Reel (cut time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB'. Joseph F. Glidden of De Kalb, Illinois, who first applied for a specific patent in 1873. His original double-strand design, the Winner, lived up to its name; it is the best-selling barbed wire of all time. 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.
