Abstract:
Applied history refers to a form of communicating history through performance, preservation, and exhibit to deliver history to a larger, public audience. Dr. Nathans took part in several of these applied history projects and shares his thoughts and revelations about communicating history through popular media. He focuses on three projects; a photographic essay on Durham's history displayed in the Durham Arts Council (1975), preservation at the Stagville Preservation Center (1977), and finally collecting documents for a project called the North Carolina source book (1979).

Abstract:
The article examines the Regulators’ and Governor William Tryon’s use of political language and rituals to support their causes and the growing crisis between Britain and the colonies in the 1760s. The author states that the Regulator movement was ultimately shaped by political interests and consequences beyond the state and influenced the American Revolution. Both the Regulators and Tryon believed that the other group did not follow the laws of the country and that this problem could be settled outside the law.
