The leader of the Southern legions in the West, General Albert Sidney Johnston, rode a magnificent thoroughbred bay, named Fire-eater, on the battlefield.

Among the hundreds of generals' mounts which became famous by their conspicuous bravery and sagacity on the battle-fields, were General Fitzhugh Lee's little mare, Nellie gray, which was killed at the battle of Opequon Creek; Major-General Patrick R. Cleburne's Dixie, killed at the battle of Perryville; General Adam R. Johnson's Joe Smith, which was noted for its speed and endurance; and General Benjamin F. Butler's war-horse, Almond eye, a name derived from the peculiar formation of the eyes of the horse.
