Description: 

"Samson's bridge" is the site of young John Sartoris' adventure with the fox.  When Rafe MacCallum tells the story, he gives no details about where it's located, except that it is on a "river" (353), but presumably it is the same bridge as the one next to Samson's store and farm in As I Lay Dying, and is so located here.  This is a long ways away from the other MacCallum settings in the novel, but in As I Lay Dying one of the MacCallum boys is at Samson's when the Bundrens get there - making the idea that the family hunted in this southern part of Yoknapatawpha more plausible.
