4th Regiment Order Book: The Seizure of Fort Johnson, 1775

This episode starts a new series that will be mixed in with regular episodes. We’ll be reading and exploring the Order Book of the South Carolina’s Fourth Regiment. The regiment was organized in 1775 and was incorporated into the Continental Army in 1776. The order book is much like a diary – it covers the day-to-day happenings of the regiment and the orders that they are given, so it gives a sense of what life was like for the men serving.
