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 Have you checked your local libraries?? Good luck on finding these books!

Have you tried ebay.

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!
