This is the classiest hacienda style mansion I've ever seen. It's in Los Angeles, California and if you can spare $15.5M it can be yours. Built in 1924, 7bds, 7.5ba, 1.04 acres of land.

The entrance hall. That molding isn't wood, it's like a sculpted plaster.

This sitting room is stunning. Look at the artwork on the beams. Beautiful windows and doors let just enough sunlight in, and that fireplace matches the molding. This home is quality.

This wood doorway matches the ceiling beams. The details in this home are amazing.

Absolutely delightful sunroom that they have set up as a cool office. Love the Mediterranean light fixture.

Beautiful wood walled library. Look at the gold ceiling and that light fixture.

The dining room has a beautiful ceiling, wainscoting, and big windows to the garden. You can see the fountain in the smaller window.

The everyday dining room opens to the patio and look at the built-in planter.

Light, airy kitchen. The lighting choices in this house are superb.

Gracefully curving stairs in a rounded stairwell with lovely stained glass windows.

What a pretty color scheme in the primary bedroom. It's certainly a huge room.

Sitting area opens to a patio.

What a fabulous vintage bath. The tile is so beautiful. Everything looks original.

Large secondary bedroom has doors that open to a balcony.

And, look at this marble bath. Just incredible.

If wasn't for the sofas this would look like a real theater.

Sunken bar open to the pool. I know it doesn't rain much in California, but gee, if it does, that banquette is going to get wet and everything.

This is magnificent.

What a property.

The Mexican tiles are amazing. I bet they're handmade.

Fabulous pond.

The grounds alone are stunning.

Plus, there's a modern studio/library.

Nice sauna, too.

Such attention to detail- look at the clay flower pots going up the stairs.

Outdoor space similar to the glass-enclosed sunroom. Look at the light posts.

Gated entrance with earns lining the wall.

But just briefly to sketch it out for folks, what happens. After the Civil War, the state of Texas, like many other Southern states, were economically devastated. So you have this huge land grab by wealthy folks, some people of the old planter class, but also an influx of Northern and European capital coming to the state of Texas to take advantage of the cheap land. They start buying up tremendous amounts of land across the state. And it just so happened that this was occurring at the same time of this new invention called barbed wire. And barbed wire, as a Texan, it’s very ubiquitous. It’s a part of growing up, getting your jeans cut on it or something like that someday.

But rather than it being something that people embraced, people fought against it, because what barbed wire represented to them was the end of what was called the open range. The idea that the land belonged to everybody. And you had these big land barons coming to the state, and also established Texas ranchers, buying up more and more land and then putting up barbed wire all around it.

And they did this with such enthusiasm. They weren’t just covering up their land, they were covering over public roads, public waterways, all across the state of Texas. So you see this physical impediment to life in the state. Literally, it was difficult to go from county to county even if you were just traveling, but certainly for people who made their living off of the land, particularly landless cowboys. This became a huge impediment to their life.

So at first, people started cutting down the barbed wire solely out of necessity. I got to get my cattle over here, there’s barbed wire in the middle, we’re going to cut it. But it very quickly became this vigilante movement. And all across the state, large groups of people started organizing themselves into different gangs to cut down these fences.

Of course, it being Texas, the landowners soon hired a bunch of goons with guns to shoot at the fence cutters, and the fence cutters armed themselves, too, and thus the Fence Cutting Wars began in earnest. And there were multiple incidents of shooting fights and things like that happening across the state of Texas.

Marc Steiner:  And I love some of the names of the fence cutting gangs, names like the Owls, the Javelinas, the Blue Devils, the Knights of the Nippers [laughs].

David Griscom:  And it’s a fascinating thing if you read into it. The Nippers in particular, which are the implements they were using to cut down these fences, it became a badge of honor. So you could go into a bar or a saloon in the state of Texas and people would proudly wear them on their hip [Steiner laughs] to indicate that they were with this rebellion, which is really cool.

Marc Steiner:  It also has this complexity. I want to talk a bit about that. It’s something that you don’t read about much, these Texas Fence Cutting Wars. But let’s talk for a minute just about where Texas was then. The post-Civil War, the contradictions of race and racism. There’s this one quote you have in there. I’m sure it was very mixed in terms of some people allied with Chicanos and Mexican Americans and Black folks who were freed, and some people despise that. You have this line here, says some of the fence cutters in post-Reconstruction who hated the progressive policies of Reconstruction.

The quote is, “Down with monopolies. They can’t exist in Texas, and especially in Coleman County. Away with your foreign capitalists. The range and soul of Texas belong to the heroes of the South. No monopolies, and don’t tax the schools, and don’t tax us to school the ends. Give us homes as God intended. And now gates to churches and towns and schools, and above all give us water for our stock.” The contradictions were there. Talk a bit about that and what you learned in terms of where unity existed, but also where racism divided, and in many ways helped kill the movement.

David Griscom:  This is one of the classic stories about any of these labor uprisings in the South is how effective racism was at breaking them. And certainly it was present in the Fence Cutting Wars. It was also something that, unfortunately, was a player in the Texas socialist movement, which has a very interesting and larger tradition than I think a lot of people expect. But you even had socialists who say, we’re not going to touch that, because if we start talking about racism and things like that, we’re going to get axed. It didn’t matter because the state destroyed the socialist movement pretty early on anyway.

But no, this was, when it comes to this progressive movement, I think there’s two factors at play here. One is, as I noted in the piece, the Fence Cutting Wars was a true grassroots reaction to a problem. But, it wasn’t orchestrated by any kind of political movement. Which, one, meant that you had people acting on their own in their small groups, but it also allowed newspaper men and people unaffiliated directly with the movement to be able to carry on whatever things that they wanted in with it.

That quote right there came from a newspaperman who’s talking about the problems the fence cutters were facing, and then slides in at the end his frustration with the funding of schools for Black folk in the state of Texas.

This is, I think, part of it is one to reckon with and realize the nasty history in the state here, but also to recognize some of the problems when you do have a movement like that. If you don’t have a political wing or the organization that’ll be necessary to push forward your message and things like that, anybody can try and own it. And the Fence Cutting Wars is interesting because it was one that was directly in people’s economic necessity. And I think that’s why there was that interracial component. It’s very different from something in a later time.

But the Southern Tenant Farmers Union, which was a massive union of tenant farmers that had interracial organizing as a plank. The fence cutting didn’t have anything like that. But what the fence cutters had was because it was such a direct threat to Tejanos, to Black folk, to poor whites, that it became interracial just because of the economic necessity. And one of the tragedies, I think, of the Fence Cutting Wars was that it wasn’t able to harness itself into a larger political movement. Now, people in it ended up joining movements after. But this upsurge that we saw was scattered very quickly.
