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

July 29 — This morning we left our camp on the Nottoway and moved in the direction of Ream’s Station. When we arrived near Ream’s we turned to the left, away from the railroad, and are camped this evening about four miles west of Ream’s Station, and on the Rowanty, a little winding stream formed by Hatcher’s Run and Gravelly Run. We crossed Stony Creek today, a small stream in Dinwiddie County; it empties into the Nottoway River about two miles southeast of Stony Creek Station.

Ream’s Station is on the Petersburg and Weldon Railroad, about ten miles south of Petersburg. Stony Creek Station is ten miles below Ream’s.
