Biography:
The youngest of Virginius MacCallum's sons, Buddy served with valor in World War I, earning a medal that he never takes out at home, because his father refuses to acknowledge that he fought in a "Yankee" army (342). He is an avid hunter. Buddy is the MacCallum whom the rest of the family relies on to marry someday and perpetuate the name. He is the only MacCallum brother not named after a Confederate hero: his given name is the same as his father's, Virginius. And the spelling of his last name changes to McCallum in the fictions that Faulkner published after 1940.
