That he was widely traveled and widely experienced in a number of unsuccessful endeavors are ways in which Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 - May 6, 1919) was in a good position to understand the problems of the workers in 1900.

Specifically, author and Oz series originator Baum grew up in New York, but moved to the Dakota Territory and then Chicago, Illinois. He experimented with a number of careers before finally settling upon writing, stage directing and filming. But it was particularly during his years as an unsuccessful businessman and newspaper editor in the Dakota Territory that he realized the daily challenges to farmers and workers. In fact, one of the reasons for his lack of success in Aberdeen was his tendency to approve lenient credit lines for struggling families and individuals who never could pay for necessities.
