Franz Kafka's Law/Mass Execution During the wars between
the US army and Native Americans, the US government was conquering
territories, in Minnesota, 50 Native American warriers were apprehended.
A momumental scaffolding was build, and they were all executed simultaneously.
This was the largest mass hanging in US history. Currently, the
site of this atrocity is the front lawn of a farmer's house, with
no historical marker, and is extremely difficult to locate. It is
simply marked by the growth of grass. (Thoughts of mass execution:
50 hanged, 1980). The EEG tracing was done while I thought about
Franz Kafka's Law (1980). The musical score applied to this
piece was from J.S. Bach's Fantasia.
