Thinking about the local men killed in the war leads the narrator of "Shall Not Perish" to imagine "all the grieving about the earth, the rich and the poor too" (103): the people who lose loved ones in the fighting.

The plantation where Sam Fathers works is another example of how Faulkner moves his un-real estate around Yoknapatawpha. In "A Justice," it belongs to the Compson family, and is "four miles away" from the Compson place that readers of The Sound and the Fury are familiar with (343). Though Quentin's narrative refers to it as a "farm" (343), it is unquestionably a plantation, run by a "manager" and with "barns and smokehouses," a "peach orchard," and a "quarters" where Sam lives with "the Negroes" - probably tenant farmers (343, 359).
