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

December 24— I got a twenty-four hour leave of absence yesterday and went home. This morning as I was leaving home for camp a member of the battery came after me to go on a scout down the Valley. The battery started from camp immediately after I arrived there. We marched all day. Camped this evening at Tom’s Brook, six miles below Woodstock.
