Yes, he was Boyd Tarleton, the brother of the twins Stuart and Brent Tarleton. He's mentioned by Scarlett and the twins in the first chapter of the novel. Now that I think of it, I believe he is a character only referred to, and not seen or heard directly. Poor Boyd was killed in the war, of course. All four of the red-headed Tarleton boys were.
But yeah, that's why Boyd, along with Cade, Raiford, Dallas, has that Southern antebellum charm for me.
