Amazingly the first person to ride, break, and train Traveller was not a man, but Dorothy Ross. The teenage daughter of Commander Franklin Ross had an intense love for horses, and was in charge of hundreds of horses on the family farm. Robert E. Lee's war horse Traveller was foaled on the Andrew Davis Johnston farm near Blue Sulphur Springs, Greenbrier County, western Virginia (later West Virginia)in the spring of 1857. As a colt he was first named "Jeff Davis" and the first person destined to ride, break, and train "Jeff" for exhibition was a young slave by the name of Frank Winfield Page. As a young servant of ten, Frank started riding and learned to handle horses with great skill and was charged with breaking the Johnston farm's colts. Readers who are interested in General Robert E. Lee's war horses may be interested in refering to my own booklet titled "TRAVELLER: General Robert E. Lee's Favourite Greenbrier War Horse," ISBN 1-41204914-8. The booklet is scheduled to be published in February/March by Trafford Publishing and will be available for purchase through the Bookstore www.trafford.com (either the Search Desk or Browsing Aisles).
