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

June 10—A while after daylight it commenced raining in torrents, drenching us to the skin and putting all our fires out. At ten o’clock we were ordered forward, and marched to the eastern base of the Blue Ridge in Albermarle County, and camped. Jackson’s army is still on the mountain. His men are camped all along the Brown’s Gap road.
