According to the book The Wizard of Oz by author and Oz series originator Lyman Frank Baum [May 15, 1856-May 5, 1919], a much much younger Wizard was a ventriloquist who had been born in Omaha, Nebraska. The youth was good at projecting his voice. But he decided to become a hot air balloonist. One day when he was trying to raise circus ticket sales by overhead flights in his balloon, he was blown off course. His hot air balloon ended up in the beautiful, enchanted, magical land of Oz. There, he built the Emerald Palace from which, as Supreme Ruler, he ruled over the residents of the Emerald City of Oz. He had grown old on the job. So he was quite elderly, with a bald head and wrinkled face, by the time that Dorothy Gale, her pet dog Toto, the Tin Woodman, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion met him.
