Biography:
At least two characters called "Major de Spain" appear or are mentioned in a number of Yoknapatawpha fictions, and it's not always possible to say which one is meant, but this is the Major de Spain who served in the Civil War as a Confederate officer. He appears in this story, however, as the Sheriff of Yoknapatawpha County. In Go Down, Moses (1942) readers learn that after the War he bought the fishing cabin where so much killing occurs in this story, and turned it into a hunting camp.
