Description: 

Wesley Pritchel lives in a "remote back-country region" of Yoknapatawpha, "twenty-odd miles" from Jefferson (113). This suggests the Frenchman's Bend area in the county's southeast corner, though if the distance from town were shorter, the presence of Indian artifacts on the "good though small farm" that he owns would make the northern side of the county more likely (113). Pritchel lives alone on the farm in a "neat, tight little house" inside a "neat, bare litttle yard" inside a "neat picket fence" (128).
