 Unfortunately, whoever designed the DOTHAN OPERA HOUSE mural made the mistake of painting the image of Joe Baker, Sr. (1836-1900) instead of that of his son, BUCK BAKER (Joe Baker, Jr., 1869-1920) . The life of Buck Baker served as the model Dougie Bailey used to create his fictional character of Buck Bannon in his novel DEVIL MAKE A THIRD. Correcting the mural would be a great way to draw attention to the novel and encourage someone to republish it as a new annotated edition. I'd hope you'd be interested in this work. Pretty sure whoever goofed used a photograph published in the October 27, 1953 DOTHAN EAGLE.
