Some civil war horses and their riders:
Traveler and Robert E. Lee
In the spring of 1861, Confederate general Robert E. Lee came to Richmond, Virginia. During the visit, Lee won a bay stallion called Richmond. Richmond is a nervous horse, but it turns out to be unsatisfactory. When Richmond is close to a strange horse, he tends to scream. For the civil war horse, this is not a good thing. Lee took Richmond to West Virginia and bought another horse called The Roan or Brown-Roan. Unfortunately, The Roan began to lose sight during the seven days. The battles of June and July 1862. Mary died after Malvern Mountain. After the second bull run, the cavalry Jeb Stuart gave Lee a mare named Lucy Long. It was also at this time that Lee received a chestnut horse named Ajax.
When Lee surrendered to the Apo Matox Court on April 9, 1865, he rode his favorite and best known horse. This gray horse is a traveler. After the end of the civil war, when Robert E. Lee served as the president of Washington University [later renamed Washington and Lee University], Lee's favorite old horse traveler was still with him. When Lee died, the horse traveler walked behind Lee's ear in the funeral procession. The traveler has a head injury and a slow gait. The traveler was buried outside the Li Chapel on the campus of Washington and Lee. Robert E. Lee is interpreted as the basement under Lee Chapel
Lexington, Sam and William Tecumseh Sherman
William Tecumseh Sherman had two horses during his time in the Civil War. The names of these horses are Lexington and Sam. Sherman rode Lexington in a big commentary in Atlanta and Washington at the end of the war. During the Civil War, Sam was injured several times. In Hilo, Sherman's three horses were killed in the battle. Two of the three horses died as a result of orderly holdings.
Cincinnati and Ulysses S. Grant
As a young man, Ulysses S. Grant developed a love for horses while working on his father's farm. Grant became a skilled equestrian athlete. As a student at West Point, Grant is an excellent equestrian athlete. At West Point, he has no special talents like anyone else. When he was at the end of West Point, Grant wanted a commission for the cavalry. On the contrary, he was finished in the infantry because the cavalry had no space. For the equestrian Ulysses S. Grant who likes to ride horses, the infantry mission must have been disappointing.
Grant's favorite horse during the Civil War was Cincinnati. After the Battle of Chattanooga, a worshipper brave Cincinnati mentioned Grant. Cincinnati is rarely ridden by anyone outside of Grant, and one notable exception is President Abraham Lincoln, who was President Lincoln's last visit to Virginia City. The other horses in Grant's Civil War were Jack, Fox and Kangaroo. The kangaroo was left by the Allied forces in the battlefield of Hilo. This horse is described as ugly and rough. However, Grant seriously looked at the kangaroo as a purebred horse. After becoming a Yankee, the kangaroo got a rest and care and became a good horse.
Old maroon and stone wall Jackson
Old Sorrel is the horse of the League General Thomas Jonathan "Stone Wall" Jackson. When he was shot by friendly forces in Chancellorsville, Stonewall rode the horse. In May 1861, the old sorrel became Jackson's horse in Harpers Ferry. This horse is about eleven years old at this time.
Devil Dan and George B. McClellan
Alliance Brigade George B. McClellan's favorite horse was named Daniel Webster. General McClellan's staff began to call the horse "Devil Dan" because Daniel Webster was a fast horse. The horses of McClellan's staff are hard to keep up with the "Devil Dan". Daniel Webster is with McClellan of Antletam. The horse is described as a dark bay, about seventeen tall, purebred, handsome, and he rarely shows signs of fatigue. Daniel Webster is a model of a horse. When McClellan retired from the army, Madanie Webster went with him. The horse, nicknamed "Devil Dan", became the family horse of the McClellan family.
