North Carolina Governor Richard Caswell: Founding Father and Revolutionary Hero

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."
