those who only know him by pictures,
Will alike be glad to learn that the
skeleton OF this great horse can now

News:
Traveller came into the possession
of General Lee only short time be-
fore the great soldier assumed the
command OF the Army OF Northern
Virginia, and was ridden by him DUR
ing the hard fought and brilliant cam
palgns that followed. He remained a
valued possession OF General Lee un-
til his death. He was ridden by him
from Powhatan county to Lexington
when, in 1865. he came to assume the
presidency of Washington College, and
was ridden by him until his last ILL
ness. There are still citizens of the
county who can remember seeing the
graceful military figure OF General
Lee seated on this strong and beauti-
full grey horse. as General Lee sought
his favorite recreation and exercise.
that of riding over the hills of Rock
bridge.
Traveller survived his master about
three years. A nail in his foot caused
lockjaw which resulted In his death.
He was buried in the Washington and
Lee grounds near Woods Creek. Later
on the remains were taken up for the
purpose OF having them mounted. but
