Biography:
Like the Sartorises, the McCaslins are planters who were among the first white settlers of Yoknapatawpha; they are at the center of the later novel, Go Down, Moses (1942), in which readers learn that Uncle Buck's real name is Theophilus and he is Ike McCaslin’s father. In The Hamlet, Uncle Buck serves as one of the sources for Ratliff's stories.
