Reading lots of books lately on southern civil war generals. The books aren't as plentiful as one might expect once you get off the big guys like Lee/Jackson but what I have found is most of these guys really had some odd habits and beliefs. Lemon eating, going around with one arm up in the air to help blood flow, etc. Jackson was considered very odd and pretty much a rube by almost all the other generals. Even once he became famous, most of the solders couldn't believe it was him when they saw him as he was completely dirty and dressed like a regular solder, not an officer. For those from the more refined parts of VA this was odd as they had tailored uniforms and held balls in the towns they occupied.
