Description: 

According to Ratliff, after Ab Snopes was whipped - and perhaps worse - by Bayard Sartoris, Uncle Buck McCaslin and "a nigger," he "skulked" around for a time in "the hills" (32). In Yoknapatawpha, the "hills" are usually the area east of Jefferson. This episode in Ab's life is depicted in "Vendee" and The Unvanquished, where the person who actually 'whips' Ab is the Negro named Ringo.
