With this study the cattle guard joins the sod house, the windmill, and barbed wire as a symbol of range country on the American Great Plains. The author blends traditional history and folklore to trace the origins of the cattle guard and to describe how the device in its simplest form was reinvented and adapted throughout livestock country.
