Biography:
Born at the end of Flags in the Dust on the same day his father is killed in a plane crash, the 10-year-old son of Bayard and Narcissa is the last of the Sartorises. He was named Benbow by his mother as a tribute to her family ("Bory," her nickname for him, similarly gestures toward "Horry," her nickname in the earlier novel for her brother Horace).
