One of the most famous horses in American history belonged to Robert E. Lee. What was its name?

There’s a novel by Richard Addams called Traveller from the horse’s point of view.

Poor Robert E Lee; never wanting to be a part of this great American tragedy, but could not say ‘no’ to his beloved Virginia. I’m glad he had Traveller at his side.

I knewGene Wright, who taught Sr Hi US History, when teaching Civil War, he routinely dressed as one of the soldiers, telling their experiences during the "War of Northern Aggression". His collection(100 soldiers, plus a horse, Traveller, for whom I made the "horse puckies" behind him. Also helped teach him(Gene) that "Pecky Becky", Lee's faithful chicken, being a Barred Rock, layed Brown eggs.

love horse, been riding since I was a steel-gray, apple-gray, appaloosa. He was a stallion(still had his nuts) and he didnt have the traits of a stallion, like biting, bucking me of or rareing up, very gentle!! This was unheard of by a stallion!! When I was 16, I started getting into boys, and didnt ride much!! When I was 17, I sold him for $35,000 to a local breeder!! He had wanted my horse for years. He bred all his mares to him and he had beautiful babies!! His name was Simba and I will never forget, I had a special, one of a kind horse!! Thanx for listening!!
