Yes, he was. Taciturn means "reserved or uncommunicative in speech; saying little."

There were a number of jokes that went around about his being a man of few words. I think the people liked that about him. At a formal dinner, he sat next to a society matron who told him she had bet her friends that she could get him to say more than two words. Coolidge said "You lose", and did not say one more word to the woman throughout the dinner.

Another story - He returned from church and someone asked what the sermon was about and he replied ,"Sin". The questioner then asked, " What did the preacher say about sin?" Coolidge said, "He was against it."
