Biography: 

Buddy is the father of Anse McCallum. His feistiness and sense of fair play are in view when he arranges a rematch of his son Anse's fistfight with Matt Levitt and threatens to take off his cork leg and whip his son with it "if you cant be licked fair without picking up a fence rail" (207). (Why he has a cork leg is explained in the earlier story "The Tall Men.")
