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

May 1 — Rained hard all last night; we renewed our march this morning up the river over a very muddy and almost impassable road. In fact, at some places we had to go through the fields and meadows in consequence of the wretched condition of the road. We marched about nine miles to-day, and are camped this evening on the Shenandoah five miles below Port Republic.
