Unnamed Members of Sartoris' Troop

The men who are under John Sartoris' command in the second story Will Falls tells about the Civil War serve in Mississippi and the surrounding area. Old Bayard says "they were all pretty good men in those days," but adds that they "quit fighting and went home too often" (229). Jenny calls them "a bunch of red-neck brigands" (238). In other texts it is made clear that this is the second unit Sartoris raises, an irregular one that he organizes after his original regiment demotes him and he returns to Yoknapatawpha.
