Recollections

The Battle of Cowpens, Reexamined uncovers the untold story behind one of America' s greatest battlefield victories. For 250 years, historians believed Daniel Morgan' s triumph over Britain' s elite forces followed a standard, predictable plan. But they were wrong. This groundbreaking book reveals how Morgan shattered expectations with bold, innovative tactics: massed riflemen targeting British officers from long range, followed by a devastating close-quarters assault. His strategy crippled the British command structure and secured a decisive American victory. Far more than a local skirmish, Cowpens was a turning point in the Revolution and a masterclass in battlefield innovation. This is the first account to fully reveal how Morgan' s tactics reshaped the fight, and how the seeds of modern warfare were sown on the Carolina frontier.
