John M. Fisher Before the War: John M. Fisher lived on a little farm outside of the little town called Fisher. He was married to a woman called Mary Fisher. He did not have a big farm he grew most of his own food. He grew some cattle. Some of his family grew up here before he lived here. His dad lived on the same farm but he died and gave the farm to his son John M. Fisher.



John M. Fisher Military Experiences: John M. Fisher was not a major person in the army he just did what he was told to do, and that was to fight. He was mustered in on Aug 11, 1863. He died in the war Chicago on Nov 26 1863. John M. Fisher was shot in the back.



How I Think the Civil War Affected John M. Fisher : John M. Fisher died in the war so his family was effected deeply. Know the family. Had to work on the farm with no man. His wife was the only one that was there. She ended up selling all of the land. He was affected because; he could no longer live a life.



Conclusions on John M. Fisher Involvement in the Civil War: I think that John M. Fisher Did do a big part in the war. He helped fight in the war. I mean if he didn't go out into war. We could have lost with out him. Little help is better than no help at all.



A Soldier's Life in the Infantry: A solder's life was not easy. Solder's had to march many miles each day with out even eating or resting for hours. They would carry medicine or shovels to bury man who died. They had to carry their guns and powder to fight. They had to carry food to eat. They also had to carry men if they died.
