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

May 17 — Renewed our march down the Valley. At New Market we left the Valley pike, turned east and moved down the Luray pike two miles to Smith’s Creek, and camped. The Yanks destroyed nearly all the fences along the Valley pike and around New Market.
