Biography: 

Walter Ewell is a sharp-shooting hunter, a regular member of Major de Spain's hunting parties. It is with one of Ewell's rifles that the boy hunts in "The Bear" (290-1). The hunters themselves belong to different age groups, with Faulkner making clear during the course of the story that General Compson is the oldest, followed by De Spain, and then by Ewell and the boy's father, who belong to the same generation (287).
