Fisher's Hill

Fisher's Hill is a ridge just west of Strasburg, Virginia that provided an ideal Confederate defensive position during the Civil War.

During the 1864 Shenandoah Valley Campaign Confederate General Jubal Early positioned his army there after his costly defeat at the Third Battle of Winchester. Union General Philip Sheridan took advantage of Early's reduced numbers to outflank him, and on September 22, 1864, forced him to retreat from a second costly defeat in three days.

There are few markers on the Fisher's Hill battlefield, but apart from the interstate highway that has made its way across almost every Valley battlefield there has been little destruction due to development.
