Besides Aven's anonymous prostitutes, Buck Bannon, the protagonist of Dougie Bailey's DEVIL MAKE A THIRD, has three sexual partners in the novel: Big Vic, Ivy Longshore and Lota Kyle. These three fictional characters have two counterparts in the life of Dothan's Buck Baker, Bailey's inspiration for his novel's main character. They are the two women who married Baker: Ida Clark in 1898 and Eula Stagg in 1919. How Bailey took the story of the two main women in his uncle's life and turned them into the three fictional characters in his book is presently the target of my research. Somebody out there in CYBERLAND seems to be interested. My DEVIL MAKE A THIRD blog had over 1000 visitors last month and has now totaled almost 26,000 views. Check it out and I'd appreciate any comments or recommendations. The ONLY WAY you can know the STORY OF DOTHAN is to understand DEVIL MAKE A THIRD. "The past is prologue" ~ William Shakespeare (Because Bailey chose to name his novel after a Shakespearean quote, it is entirely appropriate that the ALABAMA SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL should dramatize this ground-breaking novel. I find it ironic that Landmarks Park, located on land once owned by the Baker family, was built by the Landmark Foundation which was founded in 1976 by members of the Southeast Alabama Community Theatre who were concerned about preserving the City Auditorium, built in 1915 during the administration of Mayor Buck Baker.) https://privatepropertynotrespass.blogspot.com/
