by General Robert E. Lee during the late war. Since that publication, additional interesting information of these and other horses used by General Lee has been furnished by a member of his family, as follows: Soon after General Lee went to Richmond, in the Spring of 1861, some gentlemen of that city presented him with a handsome bay stallion, who was given the name of Richmond by General Lee. After the death of General Robert S. Garnett, who fell at Carrick's Ford, West Virginia, July 14, 1861, General Lee was sent to take command in that locality. He carried Richmond with him. Whilst in West Virginia he purchased a horse which was afterward known as The Roan. When General Lee returned to Richmond, in the Autumn of 1861, he brought Richmond and The Roan with him.

When he returned to Richmond in the Spring of 1862, he brought back with him The Roan and Traveller. During the battles around Richmond, that summer, The Roan who had been gradually going blind, became unserviceable, and General Lee began to ride Richmond again, and continued to do so until the death of the horse soon after the battle of Malvern Hill. He now began to ride Traveller regularly. Traveller had no vices or tricks, but was nervous and spirited. At the second battle of Mannassas, while General Lee was at the front reconnoitrein

In February, 1862, General Lee bought from Captain Joseph M. Broun, quartermaster of the Third Virginia Infantry, the grey horse so well-known to the public as Traveller.

About this time some gentlemen of South West Virginia presented to General Lee a fine large sorrel horse whom the General named Ajax. This horse had a fine walk but was too tall for the General, who seldom rode him; riding Traveller almost constantly until the end of the war, and, indeed, until the time of his death, October 12th, 1870. After the surrender at Appomattox Courthouse, Lucy Long, who was not with the Army of Northern Virginia, was taken by some stragglers and sold to a Virginian surgeon, who took her home with him. After the close of the war, she was found in Eastern Virginia by Captain Robert E. Lee, who repaid what had been paid for her and took her to his father at Lexington, where were also Traveller and Ajax. When The Roan through blindness became unfit for army service, General Lee gave him t

Some years after the death of Traveller, Lucy Long, who was also turned out during the day for exercise, in some way injured one of her hind legs. After the leg healed, General G. W.

She was hearty until the winter of 1890-‘91, when she began to fail. She died in the spring of 1891, at the age of thirty four years, and was buried on the farm of Mr. Mackay. Some three years after the close of the war, Ajax, who was turned out during the day, when not used, ran against the iron prong of the latch of a partly opened gate and killed himself.
