In Virginia, you can see split-rail "snake" fences at historical sites, especially Civil War battlefields,. Settlers built this style of fence when wood was plentiful. By stacking rails in a zig-zag pattern, the fence could be constructed without nails or wire.
This one is in Shenandoah County south of Mount Jackson.
That is an interesting piece of information and quite an artistic photo too. :)
