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

September 17 — Renewed our march early this morning and moved four miles northeast of Orange Court House, where the rest of our company was camped, then we marched down the old plank road in the direction of Fredericksburg. We moved as far as Verdiersville, where General Fitzhugh Lee’s command is camped, twelve miles from Orange Court House. An old-looking hotel and one dwelling house is all there is of Verdiersville. It is located in a rather poor-looking country, on the Fredericksburg and Orange plank road.
