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

May 6—This morning we renewed our march through a beautiful country. We struck the Valley pike one mile below Mount Sidney, then marched down the pike to North River, and camped on the south side of the river.

This camp is a half mile south of Mount Crawford, eight miles from Harrisonburg. I have not heard or seen anything of Jackson’s army since we left Conrad’s Store.
