How Barbed Wire Changed the American West and Ended the Open Range
Om avsnittet
The open range didn’t end with a war… or a law. It ended with wire.
In this episode of Way Out West, take a ride through one of the most important and often overlooked turning points in the history of the American West: the invention of barbed wire. A simple strand of steel reshaped the land, changed the work of the cowboy, and brought an end to the wide-open prairie that defined an era.
From fence-cutting wars to brutal winters on the Plains, this is the story of how barbed wire closed the range and helped build modern ranching in its place.
