Fisher's Hill, Virginia

Someone who saw my pictures of Fisher's Hill Battlefield wrote to me looking for details of the battle.

I replied that the National Park Service has a detailed page which describes the area as well as the battle of Fisher's Hill, I recommend that one and also johnsmilitaryhistory.com/fishhill.html.

There are various Shenandoah history and genealogy links at http://csonner.net.

Fisher's Hill battlefield will undoubtedly be damaged if I-81 is widened. The Interstate runs through the battlefield and VDOT is looking at plans to increase capacity of the highway. But at least for now, Fisher's Hill is a scenic place to visit.
