Barbed Wire Battles: Texas' Fence-Cutting War
We love hearing from our fans!
Texas was built on open ranges and wide horizons—until barbed wire started carving up the frontier. In this episode, we dive into the wild and chaotic Fence-Cutting War of the 1880s, when furious cowboys and landowners clashed over who controlled the land. Armed with wire cutters and a deep sense of frontier justice, Texas ranchers waged a battle that turned neighbor against neighbor and led to gunfights, political showdowns, and some downright bizarre tactics.
Join us as we unravel the story of how a simple strand of wire changed the Lone Star State forever—and how some Texans refused to let the fences win. It’s a tale of cattle, conflict, and cowboy rebellion that you won’t want to miss!
