The story opens with the news that Tomey's Turl, a slave on the McCaslin plantation, has run away.

Roth gives him an envelope full of cash and mentions that a messenger might show up during the day. Buddy arrives and coaxes Beauchamp into another poker game. Mollie Beauchamp (Lucas' wife) has had a premonition of harm involving her long-lost grandson, Samuel.
He digs his wife's grave at great speed, and the visitors at the funeral wonder why he is digging his wife into the ground so quickly. Many years later (around 1941) Lucas Beauchamp, the son of Tomey's Turl and Tennie, lives and works on the McCaslin plantation, now owned by Carothers "Roth" Edmonds, the grandson of Carothers McCaslin "Cass" Edmonds (Isaac and Lucas' elder cousin). Lucas returns to the plantation and cons a salesman out of a metal detector to search for the treasure he adamantly believes exists. Ike, ashamed of acting as a go-between in such a sordid matter, informs her that Roth has left and tries to thrust the money on her.
Sam leads Isaac to a clearing; they hear Walter Ewell's horn, and Isaac assumes the buck has been killed. 行け、モーセ（モーゼ）

"Was" serves to introduce the reader into the practices and mentality of the antebellum South. Tomey's Turl is Carothers McCaslin's son, Buck and Buddy's half-brother.
The group becomes increasingly preoccupied with hunting Old Ben, a monstrous, almost immortal bear that wreaks havoc throughout the forest. That night, Rider believes he sees his wife's ghost. "Cass" lives with his grand-uncles Theophilus and Amodeus McCaslin, called "Uncle Buck" and "Uncle Buddy" respectively by most of the characters in the book. Go Down, Moses is a collection of seven related pieces of short fiction by American author William Faulkner, sometimes considered a novel. When Hubert and Buck are taking bets on where Tomey's Turl will show up, the reader further sees how far removed from human the slaves are in the eyes of the owners.
But then a giant buck comes down the slope toward them and looks at them with gravity and dignity. Old Ben seizes Lion and begins shredding his stomach with its claws. 福克纳出版地美国语言英语出版商兰登书屋（美国）出版日期1942年媒介印刷（精装书）页数383页OCLC21562002杜威分类法813/.54 20LC分类法PS3511.A86 G58 1990上一部作品村子下一部作品 When Israel was in Egypt's land: Let my people go, Oppress'd so hard they could not stand, Let my People go.
