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

March 20 — This morning we were ordered to Gordonsville, to camp there until the campaign opens. We packed up at ten o’clock and left our winter resort en route to Gordonsville. We passed through Charlottesville, crossed the Rivanna half mile east of town, and camped to-night ten miles from Gordonsville.
