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

November 10 — This morning we forded the Rapidan at Rapidan Station, then moved in an easterly direction all day toward Fredericksburg. We marched on the old Fredericksburg pike, now a very rough road; at dusk this evening we struck the Orange plank road, about eighteen miles east of Orange Court House, and camped. The weather is very cold.
