Mr. Rackhert

[Howard Brown]

I forget where we have the list of different spellings ( if someone could help me find it, I'd appreciate it ) of Bachert's name...here's another one.

Dublin Courier
October 14, 1889
**************

[Howard Brown]

Tom Wescott theorized that all these misspellings may have been intentionally committed by Bachert, himself.
He even misspelled his own name as Basket on one letter.

Here are some of the variations................

Bachert Backart Backbest Backers Backert Backest
Backet Backhert Baebert Barbert Barker Barkert
Baskert Baskett Batchard Bechart Bechert Beckett
Blackbest Bocker Bracker Brackert Bracket Parker

[Howard Brown]

I know there are a few more....I'll try to locate them.
