What do you think his orderlies were for. They had the cigars! (Capture that orderly Reb, it's Grant's own. He'll get you some mighty fine HAVANNAS!!!:laugh:

Here's a trick question.....let's see who can answer this one.....

What was the name of General Thomas Jackson's horse?

[69th NYSV]

You always come with interesting questions JC not the usual "who's-who" type things. I had no idea and looked it up and it's a neat story. But since I looked it up I'll wait for someone that might really know.

So instead I'll give the names of my two sister's horses. One is named "Harry" and the other is "Spiderman" due to the web shaped markings on his hind leg. B)

[Hancock the Superb]

Little Sorrel.

A.P. Hill.





but i hear he rode him more like a donkey.

Nope. That's the "trick" in the question. Little Sorrel is what Jackson's men named his horse. What did Jackson name the horse?

[Ephrum]

"Old Sorrel"?

[JC Edwards]

Sorry Ephrum.

I have exactly NO idea. I have Shenandoah Valley book or whatever the new book on that is called and it never mentions any other horse name for Jackson. I have a book just on Jackson and it doesn't mention any other name. Did you get this from Wikipedia?:)
