And lo and behold, I looked up "John Marston" on youtube, and what I saw was good.

More seriously, yes, what I saw was almost a mirror image of what I had originally conceived of what Jackson looked like in my head. The way he dressed, the voice, the pistol action, all that was spot-on. The only difference seems to be that while Marston seems to be driven by some sort of dark past (that, and the fact that he has these real menacing scars on his face), adding to his badass factor, Jackson is more of a whim-of-the-wind character, not really holding any grudges, living life for the sake of living, with nothing and no one to hold him down. He is competent, but is too lazy to be badass. Jackson doesn't really have a goal beyond surviving in his life.

I've never played Red Dead Redemption or had a particular interest in the Wild West, but yup, I would bet that if I were to pin down one specific place Jackson was from, this would be it. Good call!
