Did Robert E. Lee have horses?
Before the American Civil War, Robert E. Lee was a plantaion owner and member of the southern aristocracy. As such, he certainly owned many horses to draw wagons and coaches,as well as for riding and hunting. Lee's plantation overlooking Washington DC, Arlington, was confiscated by the Union Army and turned into a military cemetery. This was done as retribution for Lee's treason in abandoning his West Point commission in the US Army to lead the secessioist rebellion. Probably the most well know of Lee's horses was named "Traveler." This was the horse he rode during his leadership of the Army of Northern Virginia.
