Usage examples of backus.
John Backus, I guessed, from his clothes and his looks, that he was a grazier or farmer from the backwoods of some western State-- doubtless Ohio--and afterward when he dropped into his personal history and I discovered that he WAS a cattle-raiser from interior Ohio, I was so pleased with my own penetration that I warmed toward him for verifying my instinct.
All the passengers were on deck to look--even the gamblers-- and Backus knew them all, and had afflicted them all with his pet topic.
