I hate the fact that Kansas is known for the Goat Doctor which was a snake oil salesman rather than say Dr. Karl Menninger that transformed mental health care. I do appreciate learning a bit more about this Kansas figure.

How did this book find me? It is a 2009 Kansas Notable Book and on the KS 250 list.
