Louis L'Amour and the Hardshells

In his novel Matagorda, the main antagonist is a gunman named Jackson Huddy. "His presence put a damper on idle talk, and it was well known that he disliked profane or obscene language. His standards and morals were largely those of the hardshell Baptist family in which he had grown up, and had he discarded his guns there was nothing in his conduct to which they could have objected."
