i think his old testament leanings were borderline psychotic from all accounts and he wasn't very responsive to his men (the little guys on the wee bottom). and some of the anecdotes about him (one especially at Cedar Mountain) of his behavior on the field just make me think he had some loose screws.

it's just an impression that's never left me. perhaps a really good bio would change my mind, but so far none has yet ~ !
