Biography:
At the end of his account of Jackson's history, the narrator provides a list of people "in the roster of Mississippi names": "Claiborne. Humphries. Dickson. McLaurin. Barksdale. Lamar. Prentiss. Davis. Sartoris. Compson" (88). All these are white and male, most are politicians, Claiborne is mentioned elsewhere in the novel, and the last two names on the list belong to characters whom Faulkner created.
