Biography: 

This icon represents the "six men in blue" who charge on horseback onto the Sartoris property (676). They are presumably part of the "regiment of Yankee cavalry" camped nearby, but these men are armed with a battering ram because their mission is pillage rather than combat (674). Bayard describes their "faces" as "unshaven and wan" and their demeanor as "frantically gleeful"; their slovenliness suggests a lower class background and their glee an undisciplined lust for plunder (676).
