Virginia in "My Grandmother Millard and General Bedford Forrest and the Battle of Harrykin Creek" (Location)

In the middle of his story about events in Yoknapatawpha in 1862 Bayard looks ahead over thirty-five years to describe a conversation that takes place in Virginia, in "the office of the Richmond editor" of a Southern periodical (673). He is making that point that, while some Confederates still refused to surrender, by the Spanish-American War US troops from both 'the North' and 'the South' could fight in Cuba side-by-side under a common flag.
