EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in American history - the confrontation between British Royal Governor William Tryon and the North Carolina Regulators in 1771. Taken from "Our Country: a Household History for All Readers, from the Discovery of America to the Present Time" by Benson J. Lossing, this engraving by Albert Bobbett transports us back to the 18th century. In this powerful image, Governor Tryon stands tall and defiant, gesturing with authority as he faces off against the rebellious citizens who took up arms during the War of Regulation. The tension is palpable as both sides prepare for battle, guns at their side and bayonets gleaming in hand. The Regulator movement was a significant event that showcased early signs of resistance towards colonial officials and set the stage for future calls for independence. This historic moment symbolizes not only defiance but also represents a struggle for freedom and self-governance. Through this photograph, we are reminded of our country's journey towards independence and how ordinary people played an extraordinary role in shaping its destiny. It serves as a testament to the courage and determination of those who fought against injustice during this tumultuous period in American history. As we gaze upon this image captured by Albert Bobbett over a century ago, we are transported back to witness firsthand one of America's defining moments - where rebellion met authority on the battlegrounds of North Carolina.
