Soldier and secretary of war of Texas, who participated in the Battle of San Jacinto. He joined the Somervell expedition in 1842 and was elected captain. With Alexander Somervell's abandonment of the enterprise, Fisher was elected leader of those members of the expedition who continued on into Mexico on the Mier expedition. During the attack on Mier, Fisher was wounded. Imprisoned with his men by the Mexican General Pedro de Ampudia, Fisher was marched to Perote Prison. He was released in 1843 and returned to Texas.

In full: “You will print Two Hundred blank appointments for the officers of the Army.” Signed at the conclusion by Fisher, who signs again in the lower left.
