Re: [RC] Robert E. Lee Re his mount Traveller - Howard Bramhall
When I first purchased my Saddlebred, Dance Line, like 7 or 8 years ago, I
joined the American Saddlebred Horse Association. They sent me all kinds of
junk, and one of them was a flyer on Traveller, Robert E. Lee's horse.
Of course, I cannot for the life of me find that flyer now, but, I do
remember them saying Traveller was a Saddlebred. I wonder if he was as
tall as Dance Line?

I've always heard that Traveller was
gaited. In fact I recently visited Lee's grave and Traveller is buried
within a few yards of Lee. The tour guide even mentioned that Traveller was
thought to be a saddlebred or walker cross.
