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

November 9 — This morning we were ordered to White Post. We started at daylight and arrived at White Post before midday, but continued our march through the village, toward Front Royal. We marched till night, and camped within four miles of Front Royal. White Post is a little village in the southern part of Clarke County, near the Warren line, ten miles from Winchester. The village derives its name from a large post in the center of the place.
