Description: 

Apparently abandoned since the Civil War, the Grenier plantation appears as 'the old Frenchman Place' in many Yoknapatawpha fictions. In this novel it is identified with the actual name of that man, Louis Grenier. He was a Huguenot whose large plantation alongside the Yoknapatawpha River was one of the earliest white settlements in the county.
