Billhooks were ubiquitous in the UK (other places too). In addition to being used by almost everyone for outdoor and gardening use back in the day, they were also used in hedge laying. Because there were hedge layers all over the UK and blacksmiths in every town, different folks decided they preferred something a little different from their neighbors. Most of the patterns are named for the area where they were popular. Major manufacturers would gather and compile examples and lists of different "patterns" and then use that list to market themselves. I've read that some of the big makers potentially had 1000-3000 different patterns of billhooks. There was even a lot of variation in handle styles.

Most of the blades are 7-10" but there were shorter, and may have been longer.

I can't remember for sure how I stumbled across billhooks. I think I ran across the terms "pleaching hedgerows" and I was curious so I looked it up. I ended up watching several videos on YT on how hedgerows are layed. It was fascinating. I had no idea that the hedges in the UK weren't just planted and trimmed.

In different areas there were slightly different methods used, but the end result is a tight impenetrable living, growing, dense fence. If they aren't layed regularly, then down at the bottom, holes appear at the bottom that are eventually large enough for livestock to pass through.

The S.55 featured many innovative design features. All the passengers or cargo were placed in the twin hulls, but the pilot and crew captained the plane from a cockpit in the thicker section of the wing, between the two hulls. The S.55 had two inline contra-rotating propellers, mounted in tandem. The engines were canted sharply at an upward angle. Two wire-braced booms connected the triple-finned tail structure to the twin hulls and wing.

The Tithe Barn was built in the early 14th century as part of the medieval farmstead belonging to Shaftesbury Abbey. Its function was to store the produce of the farm, and of the farms of the manor. Tenant farms contributed a tithe, meaning a tenth of their produce.

In the world of the Comanche, children were seen as very special and precious to their parents. Rarely disciplined, the children learned by watching and listening to their parents. They also learned from other family members within their tribal band. Young girls would lovingly follow their mothers during the day and would observe the daily chores of village life.
The captivating Comanche elder Post Oak Jim shared that the Comanche girls would help collect quail, duck, turkey, or chicken eggs in their aprons. In their very helpful ways, he maintained that the girls would also gather roots and berries for their families.
At play, both the girls and boys played hide and seek, had foot races, and even played tag.
Wonderful picture of Wanada Parker Page, a beautiful child of the Comanche Chief Quanah Parker and Weckeah, circa 1892. Wanada's Comanche name was Woon-ardy which meant to stand up and be strong. She had also been given her mother's name of Weckeah. Photograph courtesy of the National Anthropological Archives, Smithsonian Institution.

When this picture was taken, likely in early September of 1873, these three men were the most famous westerners alive. On the right sits Buffalo Bill Cody, who earned his name as the greatest buffalo hunter alive before rising to fame as a scout for the United States Army. Across the table sits Wild Bill Hickok, the deadliest gunslinger of his day and perhaps the most fabled lawman in American history. And behind these two men, with his right hand resting familiarly on Wild Bill's shoulder, stands Texas Jack Omohundro.
Omohundro hadn't been a buffalo hunter or a lawman in Kansas cow towns. Texas Jack was a cowboy. The Earl of Dunraven, who hunted with both Texas Jack and Buffalo Bill, wrote:
"Buffalo Bill had always been in Government employ as a scout, but Texas Jack had been a cowboy, one of the old-time breed of men who drove herds of cattle from way down South to Northern markets for weeks and months, through a country infested by Indians and white cattle thieves."
When these three men toured as The Scouts of the Plains, audiences who rushed to their local theaters to catch a glimpse of their heroes were gladly spending their hard-earned money to see the West's most famous scout, its most famous lawman, and its most famous cowboy together on stage. They were so famous that nearly 150 years after they posed for this picture they still shape our stories of the American West. Buffalo Bill became the most famous American, and perhaps the most famous person full stop, during his own lifetime. His Wild West show performed before thousands on both sides of the Atlantic, shaping forever the public perception of the West in his own image. Wild Bill was struck down by an assassin's bullet, but his name lives on, inspiring countless books, movies, television shows, and trips to the small South Dakota town of Deadwood where Hickok was killed and is buried.
Texas Jack didn't live long enough to ensure his name would be remembered forever and he didn't "die with his boots on" to go down in history. But his life and his legacy as America's first famous cowboy, the man who introduced the lasso act to the stage and rode with Pawnee warriors across the western prairie, has influenced every cowboy story that followed. From Owen Wister's The Virginian to Louis L'amour's Hondo, from Tom Mix to Cary Grant, from Clint Eastwood's Man With No Name to John Wayne's Ethan Edwards—every cowboy has been cast in the mold of Texas Jack.

Gouyen was born in 1857, into the Chihenne band of Chiricahua Apache. Her Indian name was[1] Góyą́ń meaning the one who is wise, or [2]Wise Woman. There is a story of Gouyen bravery, passed down in Apache history. Her husband was killed in a Comanche, raid while he was visiting the Mescalero Apaches. The revenge of Gouyen, is [3]legendary. Gouyen went looking for the Comanche chief, who had killed her husband. She found him dancing a in a victory dance around a bonfire, he had her husband's scalp hanging from his belt. Gouyen put on buckskin puberty ceremony dress, and joined the dancers, she seduced the chief, and led him away, she killed him. Then she scalped him, cut off his breechcloth and took off his moccasins. She then returned to her camp, to present her husbands parents with the Comanche leader's scalp, giving them his clothing and his footwear, to prove it was him. Gouyen had [4] avenged her husband's death.
In October 14, 1880, when [6]Victorio's band was evading U.S. and Mexican troops along the U.S. Mexican border. [7]The Chiricahua Apache, had stopped at Tres Castillos, New Mexico, for a rest, they were attacked by Mexicans. After the attack, Victorio and seventy eight Apaches had been murdered, among them Gouyen's baby daughter. Only Gouyen, her young son Kaywaykla, and seventeen others had escaped.
Gouyen did marry again to Kaytennae, who was an Apache warrior. Kaytennae was one of the Apaches that had escaped during the Battle of Tres Castillos. [8] Kaytennae and Gouyen joined [9] Nana and [10]Geronimo's band, and helped with their escape from the San Carlos Reservation in 1883. While on the run trying to evade capture, Gouyen saved Kaytennae's life by killing a man trying to ambush him. In 1886 Geronimo and his followers were taken prisoner by the U.S. Army and among them was Gouyen, and her family. They were taken to Fort Sill, Oklahoma, Gouyen [11] died at Fort Sill in 1903.
