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!

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.
