"Burgwin-Wright Presents... Outlander in the Cape Fear" explores the history of Colonial North Carolina through its depiction in the book and TV series "Outlander."

On this week's episode, we are traveling to Burlington to revisit the consequential Battle of Alamance in 1771, a bloody confrontation between the Regulators of North Carolina's Colonial backcountry and Royal Governor William Tryon. It is often called the first battle of the American Revolution, but is that true? In the "Outlander" story, it has major ramifications for the Frasers, but what did the real Regulators want and why was Tryon so desperate to end their uprising?

This week's guest is Jeremiah DeGennaro, site manager for Alamance Battleground State Historic Site in Burlington.
