Biography:
John Sartoris' sister Jenny refers elliptically to the "better colonel" whom the men of the Confederate regiment from Yoknapatawpha elected to replace him as their commander early in the war (238). Later in his career Faulkner will give this figure a name - Thomas Sutpen, the central character of Absalom, Absalom (1936).
