Abstract:

Originally organized in September of 1775 under the command of Col. James Moore, North Carolina's First Regiment of Continentals was reactivated on September 18, 1968 by Governor Bob Scott as part of North Carolina's observance of the National Bicentennial Celebration. Members of the modern First Regiment, which is commanded by Col. B. F. Jarrell of Burlington, take part in reenactments and drills staged as preliminaries to the actual start of the Bicentennial Celebration in 1976.
