Cotton House Where Wesley Snopes Is Caught (Location Key)

Located somewhere in Frenchman's Bend, this "empty cotton house" is where the "a posse of enraged fathers" finds Wesley 'Actual Schoolmaster' Snopes having sex with "a fourteen-year old girl" in the last two volumes of the Snopes trilogy (The Town, 43). A "cotton house" is a crude structure built in or next to a cotton field, where the cotton can be stored as it's picked in the fall before being taken to the gin; it would be "empty" most of the year.
