Origin of the Devil’s Rope
From the early 1600’s to the mid 1850’s cattle herds grew to 100’s of thousands and
roamed freely across the vast plains of the Southwest and Central plains.
These huge territories saw both ranching cattlemen and also the farmers; thus the need to
fence out the cattle.
In the year 1874 a patent was issued for a new type of wire (suitable for this purpose)…it
was the 1st “barbed wire”; very effective in keeping cattle and crops separated.
From the start it was recognized as trouble and soon was labeled with the notorious name
The Devil’s Rope.
Thousands of miles of this type of fence were strung in the Southwest from the late 1800’s
to present.
Most of the materials (barbed wire) that we are using are 1930 to 1950 vintage.
Enjoy this little piece of cattle ranching history along with your piece of Americana.
