Description: 

St. Louis, Missouri, is north of Yoknapatawpha and separated from Mississippi by Oklahoma. When Joe Christmas' fifteen-year-long wanderings bring him into Missouri he probably spends time in or at least passes through St. Louis. Calvin Burden settles down here for a while with his family, though six years later, after killing a man in an argument over slavery, he has to move somewhere "westward" (242).
