  • THE HOWLING DAWG Christmas Issue 2018
    THE HOWLING DAWG Christmas Issue 2018 “A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast” – Proverbs 12:10 16th Georgia Volunteer Infantry Regiment, Company G "The Jackson Rifles" An Apple for Traveller by Mort Kunstler General Robert E. Lee was known for his kindness to animals as well as people and his thoughtfulness was legendary. There are few relationships more appreciated than that of a horse soldier and his mount. During the War, over a million horses perished. The dappled grey Traveller is buried at Lee Chapel, with his commander. General Lee acquired him in 1862, and rode him throughout the war and beyond… Traveller by Mort Kunstler (concluded) In a letter penned during the war, Lee described his horse to Mrs. Lee’s cousin, Markie Williams, who wished to paint a portrait of Traveller. He wrote: “If I was an artist like you, I would draw a true picture of Traveller; representing his fine proportions, muscular figure, deep chest, short back, strong haunches, flat legs, small head, broad forehead, delicate ears, quick eye, small feet, and black mane and tail. Such a picture would inspire a poet, whose genius could then depict his worth, and describe his endurance of toil, hunger, thirst, heat and cold; and the dangers and suffering through which he has passed. He could dilate upon his sagacity and affection, and his invariable response to every wish of his rider. He might even imagine his thoughts through the long night- marches and days of the battle through which he has passed.” ***** CATHY’S CLOWN The Humor of Kenny Stancil All the grand-kids were visiting for Thanksgiving.
