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

August 6 — On reserve picket until late this evening, when we went on outpost picket half mile below Brandy, on Fleetwood Hill. From our picket post we can see a Yankee encampment about four miles away and near the bank of the Rappahannock.
