Description

Richard Caswell emerged during the Revolution as a vital leader of the Patriot cause. Though he was a loyal British subject who fought against the backcountry Regulator rebellion, he embraced America’s revolutionary fervor. He represented North Carolina at the Continental Congress and bravely commanded troops at the Battle of Moore’s Creek Bridge. He supervised the writing of North Carolina’s constitution and was elected the Old North State’s first governor. After the Revolution, he again served as governor and became a leading spokesman for the ratification of the United States Constitution. Author and historian Joe Mobley chronicles the life of a man devoted to the public service of North Carolina and a new nation.
