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

June 16 — This morning we were relieved from picket and started on a march with our old cavalry brigade. We moved in a westerly direction till we struck the Culpeper and Warrenton road, then moved on that road toward the Rappahannock. We marched until middle of the day, and then camped on Hazel River, eleven miles from Culpeper Court House. Weather hot and roads dusty.
