Biography: 

Anse McCallum is only mentioned in the novel, as one of the men who bought the Texas ponies at the auction. "Anse McCallum" is the name that Faulkner gives the head of the MacCallum|McCallum clan beginning in 1940; before that he was named "Virginius MacCallum." This character may also be the McCallum who makes the moonshine whisky that Ratliff carries with him, though it's more likely that that is Henry, Virginius' second son and the MacCallum in Flags in the Dust who is known around Yoknapatawpha for making great moonshine.
