Biography:
The narrator of "Retreat" is the son of John Sartoris and grandson of Rosa Millard; he narrates all the stories that Faulkner included along with "Retreat" in The Unvanquished (1938). In this story Bayard, aged almost 14, becomes increasingly independent as he sets out with Ringo to chase the marauders who took their mules. He is found by his father during the story, but is left on his own again at the end.
