Three Years in the Confederate Horse Artillery — George Michael Neese.

July 29 — This morning I left the peaceful haunts of home and am off again for the desolating scenes of war. I took stage at New Market at nine o’clock, and arrived in Harrisonburg at one. I fooled around town a few hours, and five o’clock found me in camp ready to answer evening roll-call.
