"Traveller was grey" So was Robert E. Lee. I thought the question was about matching hair, not sorrel hair. But anyway, when REL was very, very nice, Jackson let him ride Little Sorrel a little while.

Growing up in Lexington, I made frequent visits with out of town guests to Lee Chapel and to the VMI museum. Both have been renovated since my childhood, but I remember in the basement of the Chapel stood a large glass case and inside it was Traveller, stuffed. He was a huge horse, at least to my child's eyes. He finally grew so motheaten and disgusting, I think they got rid of him. But can you imagine? We Southerners do love our war mementos. I'm surprised they didn't stuff Lee and mount him on the horse. At least we have his death mask (Lee's, not Traveller's). Then there was a horse skeleton at the VMI Museum, but I can't remember who it was- maybe Little Sorrel??
