Biography:
There are over a dozen different groups of "Confederate soldiers" referred to in the fictions. Four different units appear in the short story "My Grandmother Millard and General Bedford Forrest and the Battle of Harrykin Creek." This entry represents the group of men "in gray" on horseback whom Philip leads (689). When Bayard sees them in the yard at Sartoris, he says there are "at least fifty of them" (689).
