Looking for the source of the following quote by a Confederate Artillery Officer confiscating horses while on the Gettsburg Campaign. Its as follows: "It was my ill fortune to have to go fequently in charge of one of these expeditions...it appeared...that every other animal siezed be the especial favorite of the woman and children of the family, who with 'wailing and crying,' begged that their 'pets' might be spared. Moreover, these horses turned out to be utterly useless. They were big, fat and clumsy, totally unfit for the quick movement and long, forced marches of the Confederate artillery service, and most of them had to be abandoned before we again reached Virginia."
