Unnamed Soldiers in Yoknapatawpha Regiment
The Confederate regiment that Colonel Sartoris originally led was fighting in Virginia when the soldiers in it "turnt right around and voted him outen the colonelcy," according to the way Will Falls tells the story (21). Falls is condemns their action, but suggests that the reason for it may have been Sartoris' elitist attitude when he says the "voted him out because he wouldn't be Tom, Dick and Harry with ever' skulkin' camp-robber that come along with a salvaged musket and claimed to be a sojer" (20). Falls is devoted to the Colonel's memory, so his representation of the men in the regiment is obviously biased. Later Jenny says these men "elected a better colonel" in place of Sartoris - but she invariably, and fondly, exaggerates the faults of the men in her family, so her account is equally unreliable (238).
