Date:
Friday, January 1, 1830 to Thursday, December 31, 1840
Notes:
I tried to tweak these dates as much as possible, but from Faulkner's own math it doesn't add up. Presuming there are four generations. V.K. I, V.K. II, V.K. III (Tennessee), V.K. IV (Ratliff's dad), Ratliff. If we say that each had a child at age 25 then that would add up to 100 years making the date of Ratliff's birth closer to 1883. This seems way too early because it would make Ratliff 53 by the time he's heading to NY. Also, on page 188 we find out that Ratliff is 40 years old meaning he was born in 1896.
>Problem was "presuming 4 generations of V.K.s" There are more, so dates are earlier. I changed them, SR
Summary:
The third American Radcliffe moves to "Missippi" - "except by that time it was spelled Ratliff" (184).
