[Return to Oz]

[DsR]

Wizard of Oz_ as a parable on Populism of the 1890's?

    - Deborah R.

 > LAWRENCE KS JOURNAL-WORLD: L. Frank Baum's fairy tale about a Kansas girl
swept by a tornado to a magical world of munchkins and witches made both
author and state synonymous with Oz . . . But one slice of the story is
largely ignored . . . Step back in time to Aberdeen, SD, in late 1890.
Conflict among white settlers and American Indians was intense.
