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

June 11—Last night at midnight we were waked up and ordered to cook three days’ rations and hold ourselves in readiness for marching orders at any moment. But we remained in camp until this afternoon, then went on picket at Brandy Station with the first section of our battery, the remainder of the company moving camp one mile west of Brandy.
