Summary:
Shreve's account goes back to Sutpen's earliest years in Yoknapatawpha, from his arrival with the twenty slaves to his building and furnishing "the biggest house you ever saw" (145). His account follows Rosa's version (Sutpen had the slaves with him when he first arrived), rather than Mr. Compson's (Sutpen was alone on that first Sunday he came to Jefferson. [SOURCE: Shreve]
