This book traces influences of the great-grandfather.,

This review is from: Son of Sorrow: The Life, Works and Influence of Colonel William C. Falkner, 1825-1889 (Hardcover)
This work is particularly important since most of the people interviewed, including William Faulkner, are no longer living. The reconstruction of Colonel Falkner's life is crucial to understanding the Nobel prize winning grandson, William Faulkner. The Old Colonel was the source of Colonel John Sartoris in Faulkner's fictional world.
