Abstract

ABSTRACT The pioneers used familiar modes of fencing in order to help establish effective settlement in Nebraska and Kansas. Ordinarily they started with zigzag rail fence, but soon resorted to substitutes as timber ran short. Hedges, especially of Osage orange, became unusually important in eastern Kansas and southeastern Nebraska. Due to observance of herd law, few enclosures of any kind were made in most of Nebraska and in western Kansas before barbed wire became dominant.
