Does anyone have these books? - Drummerboy - 07-28-2007
Hello all,
Presently, I am trying to write something on the Battle of Alamance in North Carolina (1771) aka "War of the Regulators". It is a very neglected part of American history and books about it are very rare. So saying, some claim that it was the First battle of the American Revolution. I was wondering if anyone had books on this subject, especially the following 2:
1. A Sketch of the life and character of the Rev. David Caldwell, D.D., near sixty years pastor of the churches of Buffalo and Alamance. Including two of his sermons; some account of the Regulation, together with the Revolutionary transactions and incidents in which he was concerned; and a brief notice of the ecclesiastical and moral condition of North Carolina while in its colonial state. (By E.W. Caruthers).
2. The Battle of Alamance: (The First Battle of the American Revolution). By William Edward Fitch.
OR
Some Neglected History of North Carolina: Being an Account of the Revolution of the Regulators and of the Battle of Amalance, the First Battle of the American Revolution. (By William E. Fitch).
Thanks!

I found most of these books on abebooks.com and amazon.com. Unfortunately the price ranges between 86.00 and 137.00 :eek: Have you checked your local libraries?? Good luck on finding these books!

Thanks for your replies. I looked on Amazon.com, but they were way above what I could afford!
Last night and today I found that both of the books have been placed online. The copyright must be up since they are so old. We have slow internet, but hopefully I will be able to read them online or download them.Thanks again!
