Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, published in 1882, delves into the adoption of barbed wire fencing in rural America. As the readily available supply of timber for wooden fences dwindled, this sturdy, new fencing material made of steel gained popularity. It presented a formidable defense against livestock and trespassers, yet was easy to erect and maintain. Deemed superior to iron fencing due to its strength and the protection from the elements afforded by its galvanized coating, barbed wire became the choice of farmers and ranchers alike. The increased ease of fencing large areas and the affordability for those with smaller properties led to barbed wire's wide implementation. Further, as the author points out, the fencing provided environmental benefits by safeguarding forests and served as a cost-effective way to prevent sheep from wandering onto neighboring properties and falling prey to predators. Through an examination of official reports, the author presents a compelling argument for the adoption of barbed wire fencing, emphasizing its many advantages over traditional wooden fences. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
