Will Falls calls the two men who work for the U.S. Freedmen's Bureau and try to preserve the newly won rights of emancipated slaves "them two cyarpet-baggers" when he tells the story of how Colonel Sartoris drove them away from the voting place and then shot them in Mrs. Winterbottom's boarding house (23). In Light in August we learn that they are both named Calvin Burden, and are Joanna's grandfather and half-brother.
