I don't have an objection to foul language, it has it's place, it was the
word they were using I had a problem with...I highly doubt certian words
were used that frequently at that time!
I could be wrong, but I doubt my grandfather would have used some of those
words at any point in his life.

I have wondered about the language. I don't know that foul words are
modern at all. Anyone else know?

I can think of one program, or a series of programs, that may have
gotten it right. I'm thinking of Deadwood, the series on HBO following
the history of the Dakota Territory mining camp, Deadwood, set in 1879
and on. What impressed me was the extensive research that was done on
the show that is reflected in the sets and, to my untrained eye, the
costumes. What is everyone else's opinion of this show?
