McCarrons' Farm (Location Key)

In The Hamlet Hoake McCarron grows up and lives on the farm which his mother inherited from her father, who was named Hoake. It is large enough to employ both "negro field hands" (149), which suggests cotton was raised there, and "drovers," men who take care the "cattle" that are raised or prepared for market there (150). All we know about its location is that it is "twelve miles from the village" of Frenchman's Bend (149).
