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

April 11 — Early this morning we were ordered to prepare for a camp move, and by seven o’clock we were ready for the word forward. We moved up the Page valley and marched hard all day, camping this evening five miles below Luray. This evening after we halted to camp we had to walk two miles after hay, and had to bring it across the Shenandoah in a boat.
