| horse names
Wow! Both General Lee and General Jackson had their horses shod at this smithy? Very immpressive history for a forge to have. A historical tidbit- I know that General Lee's horse which he rode throughout the war for southern independence was named "Traveler", a beautiful white steed depicted in many paintings from that time. A bit of trivia- Does anyone know what the name of General Jackson's horse was? I do not know the answer. Dan
