Larry M (is that Marsden or Marshberne, are there two Larry Ms?) tells me the following passage about McCormick and "Jesus H. Christ" from my book is based on erroneous information. He says sometime on the Forum, this issue was discussed. Can you all let me know what I missed? John Lauber recounts the incident in which McCormick, trying to save space in a Courier issue, took a visiting preacher's notice and condensed the "Jesus Christ" to the initials "J. C." The preacher objected to this, and informed McCormick that he expected the savior's name to be printed in full. McCormick took heed; the next notice was published with the savior's name in full in every instance--"Jesus H. Christ" (35). This oft-mentioned incident was the sort of irreverence young Sam enjoyed and quickly emulated.
