Fisher's Hill
a lofty eminence, about 20 miles S. of Winchester, Va., between the Massanutten and North Mountains, and with its base washed by a branch of the Shenandoah. This place was the scene of a smart action, Sept. 22, 1864, between a National force under General Sheridan, and one of Confederates commanded by General Early, in which the latter was defeated with the loss of about 1,000 men killed and wounded, over 1,000 prisoners, and 16 guns. Among the killed were Generals Rhodes and Goodwin. The Union casualties numbered about 3,000.
