Cyrus / How Wm. Stewart, Esq., sounded off about barbed wire In "Sketches of Adair County," Judge H.C. Baker made note of the introduction of barbed wire to Adair County, and William Stewart's scathing opinion thereof. Wrote Judge Baker: There has been a prejudice to its use except in a modified form. This may be due in part to a remark made by Wm. Stewart, Esq., upon his inspection of the first [barbed wire fence] built in the county:After giving it a critical examination, he said: "Well, it may keep the stock inside from getting out, and the stock outside from getting in, but my judgment is that the wires can never be put close enough together to keep the man out of h--- who would build such a fence."
