Unnamed People of Yoknapatawpha

These icon represents the "whole town and county" (329), the "living fellowtownsmen" of the lifetime of Jason III (330), and "the town" (340) - terms which always refer exclusively to Yoknapatawpha's and Jefferson's white population. This generic group and the Compsons seem to have an estranged, at times even antagonistic relationship to each other.

Jefferson Courthouse and Square in "Appendix: Compson" (Location)

The county courthouse and the Square around it that sit in the center of Jefferson is at the center of many of Faulkner's fictions. Its place in our representation of the "Appendix," however, is a function of the practice, throughout the Digital Yoknapatawpha data, to locate characters and events that cannot be associated with any specific location there, "in" the Square as an equivalent to "somewhere in Jefferson or Yoknapatawpha." Here, it is where the we locate these groups: "the whole town and county" (329) and Jason III's "living fellow townsmen" (330).

Chickasaw Farms and Plantations in Appendix in "Appendix: Compson" (Location)

This icon represents the farms on which some of "Ikkemotubbe's descendants" remain after the tribe itself has been removed to Oklahoma - and also "what they too called plantations" (328), where some of these descendants owned slaves. The text gives no cues about where these places might have been, or how many of them there were, but does clearly suggest that the farms, the plantations and the Indians who owned them all disappeared "at last" - presumably some time after the Civil War (329).
