Didn't Jackson's Chief of Artillery have quite the vulgar mouth as well? I can't think of his name off the top of my head. I remember a story where a team of mules was holding up an advance and the teamster couldn't get them moving. This man got off his horse, waded into the stream and started cussing the team, who to everyone's surprise, started to move. He waded back out of the stream, remounted his horse and looked at Jackson. "Sorry, sir." He knew Jackson to be a godly man. "It's the only language that mules understand." I'll do my best to find this man's name.
