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

July 12 — We have no ammunition yet for our battery. General Lee’s army is still in line, with breastworks thrown up along the front. The Yankee army is in the immediate front of our line, and both sides have been skirmishing all day. It looks to me as if the Yanks are afraid to attack General Lee when he is prepared for their reception.
