Ambush Site Near Varner House (Location Key)

Code: 
871
Description: 

All three novels in the Snopes trilogy mention the "bushwhacking thicket" where Eula Varner's local suitors fight each other or the various outsiders who come to Frenchman's Bend to court her and, climactically, where they try to ambush and drive away Hoke McCarron, who fights them off with Eula's help. In The Hamlet, the spot is near a "creek ford a half mile away" from the Varner house (153); in The Mansion, it's next to "the creek bridge" (136).
