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

August 29— We are still in camp at Gaines’ Crossroads, waiting for ammunition. We have no ammunition at present suitable for our Blakely gun, and there is none in the brigade ordnance train. This morning we heard heavy cannonading in the distance toward the east.
