Food For Thought: (source: Eric Sass, Mental Floss History of the United States, 2010)

Nasty and effective, barbed wire is a quintessential American invention: without it, the West might not have been won. Or at least, there would have been a lot more cows, horses, and miscellaneous livestock roaming free, with distraught ranchers in pursuit! Called “the Devil’s rope,” barbed wire substituted for more substantial fencing materials like wood or stone. While regular wire was an option, the average cow, weighing 1,000 pounds or more, was not deterred by “smooth” wire fences. Buss, weighing up to a ton and armed with horns, were even less daunted. The difficulty of ranching without fencing quickly became a serious hindrance to Western expansion. From 1857 to 1867, a handful of inventors “back East” experimented with wire augmented with small knots of sharp cut wire, but there wasn’t much demand in the tree-filled eastern part of the country. Farther west, however, it was an idea who’s time had come. Approximately 176 ranchers submitted some variation of the basic idea to Illinois patent offices, which set in motion an exciting legal free-for-all, with various patent holders trying to prove that barbed wire manufacturers were stealing their ideas. In the end, the paten office chose Joseph F. Glidden’s economical design, which produced the maximum number of sharp edges with the least amount of wire. And in 1874, Glidden sold half his patent to an enterprising Illinois hardware entrepreneur named Isaac L. Ellwood, who began manufacturing barbed wire by hand. Imitators produced close variants of the design, and small factories sprang up across western Illinois, all of them turning out barbed wire using manual labor. By 1884 the legitimate factories (there were still several bootleg joints too) were manufacturing up to 100,000 tons of barbed wire a year. That’s roughly 600,000 miles of barbed wire, or 40 times the circumference of the earth!
