Bayard goes out hunting with Buddy MacCallum in three different environments: "skeletoned fields," and "stagnant backwaters along the river," and "the [river] bottom" itself; they are after different game in the different locations - "birds," or "duck and geese," or "'coon and wildcat," respectively (351).
In Flags in the Dust Bayard goes out hunting with Buddy MacCallum in three different environments: "skeletoned fields," and "stagnant backwaters along the river," and "the [river] bottom" itself; they are after different game in the different locations - "birds," or "duck and geese," or "'coon and wildcat," respectively (351). All of these places are close to the MacCallum house in the northeastern part of Yoknapatawpha.
John Sartoris' sister Jenny refers elliptically to the "better colonel" whom the men of the Confederate regiment from Yoknapatawpha elected to replace him as their commander early in the war (238). Later in his career Faulkner will give this figure a name - Thomas Sutpen, the central character of Absalom, Absalom (1936).
"Miz Winterbottom's" is where the two Yankee "cyarpet-baggers" who try to organize the emancipated slaves to vote are boarding in Flags in the Dust, and it is here that Colonel Sartoris seeks them out and shoots them - before apologizing to Mrs. Winterbottom for "mussing up [her] guest-room" with the killing (243). There are a number of boarding houses in Jefferson in the various fictions. Mrs. Winterbottom's only appears in Flags.
