Military Boarding School (Location Key)

The Hamlet gives us no clues about where to locate the "military boarding school" that Hoake McCarron attends (151). There is only one such school in Mississippi, an academy in Port Gibson that was established in 1830. We are using that to provide a location, but Faulkner may have been thinking of many other possible schools and places - or of a place like Yoknapatawpha, on a map only he could draw.
