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

May 22 — We left camp at noon to-day and crossed the Massanutten Mountain, and are camped this evening at Luray, fourteen miles east of New Market. Jackson’s forces went down the Luray Valley, and this is the first time that we marched in the rear of an advancing army.
