I'm sure Jackson would be in favor of mediation, as long as he got his way in the end
When I toured his headquarters in Winchester, VA, the guide said he actually loved peaches. She said his love for lemons is mostly a myth. Interestingly enough, his grave was strewn with lemons when I visited the site in Lexington, VA.
Thanks @J. Horace for posting the link. It was a great read.
The lemon myth lives on.
Thanks @Eleanor Rose for the heads up on the lemons as post mortem offerings....Very interesting. Edgar Allen Poe gets a rose and a very nice bottle of cognac left on his grave every year on his birthday.When I toured his headquarters in Winchester, VA, the guide said he actually loved peaches.

Love Poe. I particularly enjoyed the fictional character author Seth Grahame Smith created portraying Poe in his book. Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter. Very entertainingMy mum was a huge Poe fan, so she follows the anniversary reports. She was disappointed that the mystery had stopped.
It was probably one of the more unusual movies I have seen. I was just blown away that the ANV was a vampire army at Gettysburg......That might explain some of the behaviors during the battle.Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter. Very entertaining

Henry Kyd Douglas is the main source for the idea that Jackson was a lemon lover. He wrote an account in his book of Jackson eating a lemon and using it as if it were a baton to give emphasis to his orders during a battle.
