February 28 — This evening the Yankees drove our pickets in again and advanced with a considerable force. We were ordered out immediately to resist the advancing enemy, and moved down the Valley pike with the Seventh, Eleventh, and Twelfth Regiments of Virginia Cavalry and Witcher’s Battalion of Kentuckians. We went as far as Woodstock, and there we learned that the Yanks did not advance any farther than Fisher’s Hill, ten miles below Woodstock. It was then about dark, and we returned to camp.
