Biography:
This novel includes a number of Union soldiers, individually and in units, some identified by name. But this icon represents the "Yankees" who are not seen directly, the various units who have been destroying railroads and burning plantations across Mississippi and Alabama, including Hawkhurst. They are represented in the text by the ruins they have left behind them. And the resentments. Included in this entry are the men Drusilla refers to when she says she joined John Sartoris's unit as a private in order "to hurt Yankees" (197).
