The Digital Yoknapatawpha Project

Mr. Habersham works in a "little dim hole" in a bank (220). He obeys his wife's command and signs John Sartoris' "peace bond for killing the two carpet baggers" (220).

In the last chapter of The Unvanquished, Faulkner introduces Aunt Jenny - actually, reintroduces her, since she is a prominent figure in several earlier other Yoknapatawpha stories and novels. After her husband is killed during the Civil War, she makes her way from the Carolinas to live with her older brother, John Sartoris. Her eyes are the same as her brother's "except that they were intent and wise instead of intolerant" (236). She is the only rational person during the hours after her brother was murdered and tries to talk Bayard out of avenging his death.

Ben Redmond and John Sartoris used to be friends and business partners who together built the railroad to Jefferson. But before the railroad was finished they became bitter rivals, running against each other for political office. Sartoris taunts him repeatedly for not having fought in the Civil War, though many people in Jefferson know that "he aint no coward" (226). The rhetorical violence of the campaign becomes real when Redmond kills Sartoris.

"Hilliard at the livery stable" in Oxford is presumably the owner who lets Ringo talk him out of a good horse for his long ride (217).
