On these occasions he would put spurs to his horse and gallop out of sight as soon as possible. This popularity was the more remarkable when it is remembered that he was very stern, very silent, very reserved, and by no means an ideal leader in appear- ance. His figure was bad, his riding was ungraceful (he rode, as I remember him, with short stirrups and with one shoulder higher than the other), and his uni- form usually rusty, with scarce anything to mark him out as a general. He never made a... speech to his sol- diers, he was a stern disciplinarian, exacting impUcit obedience not only from the rank and file, but from the brigadiers and major-generals. Let one of these faU to march with his brigade or division at the hour prescribed in Jackson's orders, and he might expect to be put under arrest with no more ceremony than if he had been a second Ueutenant or a sergeant of the guard. And then the men knew that Stonewall would march them hard, and fight them hard, and require the greatest sacrifices of them.
