Re: [RC] Robert E. Lee Re his mount Traveller - Truman Prevatt
You obviously haven't been to the saddlebred museum in Lexington :-).
Travler has his very own display there. Travler was part of the
foundation stock that led to the development of both the saddlebred
and the walking horse. Travler was form the Grey Eagle family of
Throughbreds. This family of Throughbreds were instrumental in the
development of the "saddler" (which later became know as the American
Saddlebread) and the Tennessee Walking horse (source, Bob Womac,
Fondations Of Hoofbeats - The History of the Tennessee Walking Horse).
In fact many of the horses in the South at that time were out of this
same stock. Thus the claim.
