Walter Johnson at 12 Years Old in 1900 U.S. Census

This is cool. We dug up a really rare U.S. Census record from 1900 showing the Johnson family of Humbolt, Kansas. Their 12-year-old boy would eventually grow up to be on of the greatest pitchers in the history of baseball and he would do that as a member of the Washington Senators. You” see the names of his siblings, Effie, Leslie, Earl, and Blanche.
