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

December 23 — Very cold last night and to-day. Nearly the whole company was busily engaged in building houses for winter quarters. Each mess puts up its own domicile. However, I am building one of my own without a chimney, as I have sworn off from the chimney-building business for this winter; I will be a boarder with my mess, but I furnish my own lodging.
