Biography: 

This icon represents the Confederate unit that Drusilla refers to as her "Uncle John's" "troop" when she asks Bayard to ask John Sartoris to let her ride with them (47). From other texts readers know that this unit was an irregular one, formed by Sartoris after he left the Army of Northern Virginia to return to Mississippi, where he could fight the Yankees closer to home.
