Charles B. Fisk, Engineer (Not to be confused with Charles Brenton Fisk, Musician)

Background: Fisk is known to have come from Connecticut, but not much more than that. Most of the biographical information we know about him comes from the company records of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and the James River and Kanawha Company.

He was Engineer on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, later being Chief Engineer specifically for the last 50 miles (Benjamin Wright having departed). In 1852, he left the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.

In 1854 he was working for the James River and Kanawha Company.
