What was the name of the first person to ride break and train General Robert E. Lee's war horse Traveller?

Amazingly the first person to ride, break, and train Traveller was not a man, but Dorothy Ross. The teenage daughter of Commander Franklin Ross had an intense love for horses, and was in charge of hundreds of horses on the family farm. Answer Robert E.

Lee's war horse Traveller was foaled on the Andrew Davis Johnston farm near Blue Sulphur Springs, Greenbrier County, western Virginia (later West Virginia)in the spring of 1857. As a colt he was first named "Jeff Davis" and the first person destined to ride, break, and train "Jeff" for exhibition was a young slave by the name of Frank Winfield Page. As a young servant of ten, Frank started riding and learned to handle horses with great skill and was charged with breaking the Johnston farm's colts.
