TRAVELLER'S BONES.

The article provides information on the popularity of the Civil War horse named Traveller. General Robet E. Lee purchased the horse in 1861 and Traveller became his favorite war horse throughout the U.S. Civil War. After the war, Lee had a spacious brick stable built for Traveller next to his house. Unfortunately Lee's horse became the target of souvenir hunters who tore away so much of the horse's tail hair that Traveller became nervous and wouldn't allow anyone to stand behind him. The faithful Traveller outlived Lee and on the day that Lee was buried, the horse walked directly behind the hearse.
