[The most efficient way to learn how to read and use our maps of Faulkner's fictions is to view the 11-minute "Demo" available on each map page. The point of this essay is to explain the interpretive policies and editorial practices that we used to create the maps.]
Bayard and Ringo travel to "Tennessee Junction" when Aunt Jenny comes from Carolina to join her brother John Sartoris in Mississippi (235). No other details about this place are given, but it's likely that Faulkner is thinking of the place he calls "Memphis Junction" on his 1936 map of Yoknapatawpha.
When Joe Brown asks the "old negro woman" sitting on the porch of her cabin about who lives there, she replies "Aint nobody here but me and the two little uns" (433-34). She adds that these two children are "too little" to carry a message to town (434), but neither she nor the narrative say anything else about them.
