Most people know of Traveler the more famous of Lee's horses. Lee had several others. J.E.B. Stuart gave him a mare, Lucy Long, that he rode for two years until she got pregnant. He also had a horse named Ajax and one named Richmond. Traveler and Lucy Long were his favorites. After the war Lucy Long stepped on a nail and died of an infection. It was Traveler who shied and jerked him off his feet and broke his hand. Beautiful animal.
Aha! Brilliant! I curse my lousy memory and praise yours! It was Traveler at Antietam, yes a very beautiful animal. I believe Grant was very fond of horses, had a soldier tied to a tree for six hours for mistreating one.
