Sartoris Plantation Pasture in "Skirmish at Sartoris" (Location)

The pasture on a plantation is typically a large grassy area for livestock. In this story, the pasture seems to wrap around the house on several sides. It is described as being between the Sartoris plantation main house and the woods and creek bottom. Bayard says, "I could see Mrs. Compson and the other ladies on the porch, looking out across the pasture toward the bottom . . . " (64-65).
