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

June 2 — We renewed our march this morning and crossed the Blue Ridge at Swift Run Gap. We marched to Standardsville and there turned off on the Madison Court House road, moved out five miles from Standardsville and camped. Our camp is in the edge of Madison County.

Standardsville, the county seat of Greene County, is a small village situated in a very rolling, hilly country, thirty-five miles southeast of Harrisonburg.
