Lucy Long was purchased by General James Ewell Brown Stuart for General Lee, after Traveller had shied, and hurt General Lee's hands in the process (he was holding the reins at the time) during Second Manassas/Bull Run. I believe Jeb Stuart bought her from the Dandridges, of The Bower.

Edited to correct Lucy Long's sex!
