Baum is ruthless, unmerciful and crude. Referring to the Native American population he asks “Why not annihilation?” (sounds like this dead guy named Adolf). He reasons stating that “their glory has fled, their spirit broken, their manhood effaced; better that they die than live the miserable wretches that they are.” According to this logic every civilization in the history of man and present day should be eradicated. At some point do we not all experience fleeting glory and a broken spirit? As for being “miserable wretches” it seems a man with so much hate in his soul as to condemn an entire population is the most miserable wretch of all.
