The tattered image of modern-day Kansas and how it got that way is the subject of Robert Smith Bader's pioneering study. That today's consensus view of Kansas as a drab and backward society has historical roots will surprise few, but many will discover that early in the century Kansas occupied an enviable position in the national psyche. Turn-of-the-century Kansans stood at the threshold of two decades of economic prosperity and of national leadership in the two most prominent socio-political movements of the era—Progressivism and prohibition. During the early 1920s Kansas reached the pinnacle of its influence; the New York times proclaimed it "the national piper" and observed that the rest of the country "dances to her piping." But the Jazz Age discovered livelier music, and Kansas came to epitomize the dry, strait-laced, fundamentalist, and traditional society that the "flaming youth" of the 1920s rejected. To H. L. Mencken, Kansas was the quintessential "cow state," chock-full of hayseeds, moralizers, and Methodists—everything he deplored.
With the onset of the Great Depression, which hit Kansas Hard, and the Dust Bowl, the state's reputation plunged precipitously. Criticism without and self-doubt within mounted. By the end of the 1930s Karl A. Menninger was moved to psycho-analyze the entire state and to conclude that it suffered from a pervasive "feeling of inferiority." During the postwar years the popular stereotype of Kansans as " uniformly austere and melancholy, tortured by heat, dust, cold, tornadoes, and their own consciences" matured and took root. By the early 1970s a journalist felt justified in describing Kansas as an "eclipsed state." Bader concludes his study of the rise and fall of the image of Kansas with a marvelous survey of recent popular culture and with a call for a reexamination of the state's histori
