Nicholas Fish

An American Revolutionary War soldier. He was the first Adjutant General of New York.

Nicholas Fish, commissioned as a major in the Continental Army at just 18, endured the harsh winter of 1777–78 at Valley Forge under George Washington and later fought heroically under his friends Lafayette and Alexander Hamilton at the 1781 Siege of Yorktown. He led a battalion in the storming of Redoubt No. 10, a decisive move that contributed to the British surrender.
