d carriage, and muscular strength. When a colt he took the first premium at the Greenbrier Fair, under the name of Jeff Davis. General Grant also had a horse called Jeff Davis. The general changed his name to Traveler. He often rode him in Lexington after the war, and at his funeral Traveler followed the hearse. He was appraised by a board in August, 1864, at $4,600 in Confederate currency. Though Lee was ready to cover his face with his mantle and die like the Athenian, it would have high felt hat.

Where the rings are attached, on one side of the blade, are the words, General Robert E. Lee, from a Marylander, 1863 ; on the other, Aide toi et Dieu t'aidera.

Generals Lee and Grant had met once, eighteen years before, when both were fighting for the same cause in Mexico-one an eng
