Sartoris Plantation in "All the Dead Pilots" (Location)

Though only alluded to in this story as "a plantation at Mississippi, where they grew grain and Negroes, or the Negroes grew the grain - something" (513-14), Johnny Sartoris' home appears in the letters that the narrator reads in July 1918. From them we can tell that Sartoris is from an upper-class Southern family with at least one unreconstructed Confederate in it - his great-aunt Jenny, who writes that the Great War is the Yankees' "war . . . not ours" (531).
