Description: Lecture given by Dr. Webb for his "Great Frontier" video series. In this video he addresses the question, "Did the frontier alter institutions?" using the example of barbed wire in the American Midwest and, later, in the Great Plains. Dr. Webb traces the development of different fencing techniques used by settlers as they advanced into the American heartland during the mid and late nineteenth century. After experimenting with hedges as a replacement for stone or rails in areas where neither of these materials could be found, several inventors in a small town in Illinois introduced barbed wire in 1873. This material essentially solved the fencing problem on the frontier and helped pave the way for further westward movement.
