Robert E. Lee on Traveller (also known as General Robert E. Lee and Confederate Soldier,[1] and Robert E. Lee and Young Soldier)[2][3][4] is a bronze sculpture by Alexander Phimister Proctor depicting the Confederate general of the same name, his horse Traveller, and a young Confederate States Army officer, formerly installed at Dallas' Turtle Creek Park, in the U.S. state of Texas.

The statue was unveiled by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1936, removed in 2017, and sold by the city for $1,435,000 to a law firm.

One bronze plaque on the back of the base reads: Adopted and restored October 1991 through the generosity of Carl B. and Florence E. King Foundation / Communities Foundation of Texas / Margaret Hunt Hill / Mr. and Mrs. John M. Stemmons / Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Seay / The Family of Mrs. J.

[6] Proctor eventually would come to believe that Lee "was never personally defeated," an idea popular in the Southern United States.

[7] The statue was originally planned to be put in Dealey Plaza,[6] though it was erected in Oak Lawn Park.

[7] Then W. H. Wells, one of the remaining soldiers who fought in Lee's army, was escorted to see the president through the crowd of people attending the unveiling ceremony.

[10] Yoni Appelbaum of The Atlantic contextualized Roosevelt's comments as part of a trend of American presidents praising Lee.

He noted that Woodrow Wilson, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon B. Johnson, Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush and Donald Trump all complimented General Lee, though he felt Trump's praise was relatively meager.

It was initially unclear if Holmes Firm PC purchased Robert E. Lee on Traveller for itself or on behalf of a client.

[17] In September of the same year, the statue was installed at a golf course owned by Kelcy Warren in Terlingua, Texas, near the Mexican border crossing.
