Robert E. Lee's chicken

In 1862 General Robert E. Lee was gifted a flock of chickens which were eaten except one that was taken as a pet by Lee and was named Nellie which he kept in his tent and would often walk in and out around the camp.

Robert E. Lee had a dinner with other Confederate generals but due too a shortage of food a slave cooked Nellie and feed it to Lee.https://studenthistorians.wordpress.com/2014/01/07/general-lees-chicken-lincolns-wallet-and-other-things-we-dont-know-about-the-civil-war/
