Lee's favorite horse was the Appaloosa pictured he named Traveller. Traveller is now buried on the campus of Washington & Lee University just a short distance from the Lee family vault. When I was growing up my grandfather's favorite horse was a big speckled Appaloosa he named Traveller in honor of Lee & his Appaloosa. He always said Traveller rode like a Cadillac. My grandfather also owned two Indian Paint horses named Cochise & Chiricahua Jack. I have used all 3 names in naming my horses & dogs to honor these animals, my grandfather & General Lee.

Cochise must be a pretty popular name for Paint's. I had one when I was a kid. Mine was a mare and I rode her in 4-H. She was great herding stock as well.

I was at the Museum of Broadcast Communications in Chicago yesterday, and they had Jimmy Durante's actual Dobbs hat!

The late, great Robert "Wolfman" Belfour was famous, but only in certain circles. One of the last great Mississippi Hill Country bluesmen, Robert passed away in early 2015. Year before his death had the pleasure to spend some time with him in Clarksdale, MS. I'm in my Dobbs Toledo and Robert in his always present classic Homburg.

Just a couple of my favorites of Richard Farnsworth. He was a natural in a hat.

Wow, that's kinda cool to know that I have that exact model hat, right down to the color.

Old photo, that I posted a few years back, but it is worth the repost.

Now you just need to find a Mrs. Calabash (wherever she is).

Here is an interesting 24 min video on Charles Goodnight & Oliver Loving. I didn't realize that Goodnight had been a member of the Texas Ranger troop that rescued Cynthia Ann Parker after 25 yrs with the Comanche Indians.

Nice little documentary. As a fan of the Lonesome Dove mini-series, it's nice to see the real background stories and make comparisons.

I was particularly taken with the line, 'splendid behavior' on the tombstone, as I very vividly remember TLJones uttering it at Deets' burial in the movie.

Thanks for sharing it.
