The following is some very interesting HISTORY on the OSAGE ORANGE used as fences in the 1850's to 1870's as the settlers moved west.Until the advent of Barbed Wire the Osage Orange was the only proven method of fencing for your farm.The "open range" was to be no more and this created much animosity between the Rancher and the Farmer.This information is taken from the book "The Great Plains" by Walter Prescott Webb and published in 1931 by Grossett and Dunlapp. |

Without Osage Orange the movement Westward would have been a much longer trek. |
