Extractions: Gone West: A Very Strange Land Barbed Wire, twisted steel wire with short barbs or sharp points of wire twisted around it at regular intervals. Because it provided cheap, effective fencing, it revolutionized the cattle industry in the American West. In warfare, barbed wire entanglements are used to defend lines of battle. Joseph F. Glidden of DeKalb, Illinois, patented barbed wire in 1874. He got the idea from Henry N. Rose, also of DeKalb, who developed a fence made of strips of wood studded with barbs. Others had similar ideas, but Glidden's patents were upheld by the courts. Barbed Wire and Cattle Cattlemen doubted that wire fencing would hold wild Texas longhorns, and also feared the barbs would injure cattle. In 1877 John W. Gates, later known as "Bet-You-a-Million" Gates, built a barbed wire corral in San Antonio, into which 25 longhorns were stampeded. The fence held and the cattle were not injured. Gates eventually controlled several wire companies and in 1898 formed the American Steel and Wire Company, with a capital of $90,000,000. The invention of barbed wire came at a time when open-range cattle raising was ending. Government land was being occupied by farmers, and ranchers were forced to buy land and fence it. On the western plains wood was scarce and barbed wire was the cheapest fencing.
