Biography:
Bayard Sartoris is the narrator of "The Unvanquished." Having spent the Civil War mostly at home, in this story he becomes a kind of soldier in his grandmother's extra-military campaign against the Yankees, but though he is some years older than in "Ambuscade" - the first of the short stories he narrates; "The Unvanquished" is the fifth - he still follows Granny's lead, and even defers to the orders of Ringo, his slave and companion. He appears or is mentioned in many of the Yoknapatawpha fictions.
