Death of Col. Charles F. Fisher at Manassas-- Part 2

Continued from June 6, 2021.

Fort Fisher, North Carolina, was named after Col. Charles F. Fisher who was killed at the First Battle of Bull Run (Manassas).

"We fear that the reported death of Col. Fisher, of the Sixth North Carolina State Troops, is only too true.   A better or braver man was not on the field.

"If Mr. Fisher had had the choice of his own death, it seems to us , knowing the man as we do, that he  would have asked  for no more glorious end than that which he has met.

"He now rests well and quietly.    He occupies the grave of a Christian, a gentleman, a soldier and a patriot.  It is all that he asked for."
