Fremont was called a "Woolly Horse" in the Confederate song "Richmond is a hard Road to Travel" because PT Barnum, hoping to arouse public interest, falsely reported that he had acquired a "woolly horse" supposedly found by Fremont's party, which had briefly disappeared on his 1849 expedition to the uncharted Rocky Mountains while surveying a possible railroad route.
