We were delighted to welcome Josh Howard,Research Historian in the Research Branch of the Office of Archives and History, on Thursday evening, November 12 at 7 pm in the Visitors Center for a lecture to a standing-room only crowd of excited visitors. Admission was $15 for the public and $10 for members of the Joel Lane Historical Society. Refreshments were served. Seating was limited, and reservations were required. To make a reservation, guests were asked to please call 919-833-3431 with MasterCard or Visa, or to mail a check to P O Box 10884, Raleigh NC 27605.
In his talk, Mr. Howard discussed the differences between militia, state troops, and Continentals and focused on Wake County during the Revolution. Josh is a Revolutionary War specialist and co-author, along with Dr. Lawrence E. Babits of East Carolina University, of Fortitude and Forbearance: The North Carolina Continental Line in the Revolutionary War and Long, Obstinate, and Bloody: The Battle of Guilford Courthouse, March 15, 1781, currently in its second printing by the University of North Carolina Press. A native North Carolinian, Howard received bachelors and masters degrees in history and maritime archaeology from Appalachian State University and East Carolina University. He was a marvelous speaker, obviously well versed in his field.
