Bob, you’ve done it again. You took something I know (Kansas kid that I am) and brought a whole new meaning to it. I’m pondering…which is a good thing.
L Frank Baum was also a racist, calling for the “total annihilation” of “redskins” during the Ghost Dance uprising of 1890. “Why not annihilation? Their glory has fled, their spirit broken, their manhood effaced; better that they should die than live as the miserable wretches they are” Aberdeen Saturday Pioneer, 12/20/1890

Hmm, didn't know that about Baum. Only that he'd been a journalist in the Dakotas prior to writing the Wizard of Oz.
