Virginia is for Lovers. Historic Sites Fisher's Hill Battlefield Civil War Site. The Battle of Fisherâs Hill was an excellent example of a surprise flanking movement against a defending force in a strong position. The battle opened the Shenandoah Valley to the destruction of its agricultural base. Following his defeat at Third Winchester, Gen. Early withdrew and took up strong defensive positions at Fisher's Hill, south of Strasburg. George Crook's Federal VIII Corps, hidden from Confederate view, moved along North Mountain to outflank the left of Earlyâs line.
Two Civil War battles were fought at Cabin Creek--both were Confederate raids on Union supply wagon trains moving from Fort Scott toward Fort Gibson. On July 1-2, 1863, Stand Watie and the Confederates failed to stop the wagon train as it crossed Cabin Creek about 10 miles south of what is today Vinita. It was one of the first battles in which African-Americans fought as a unit west of the Mississippi River.
