Cowpens 1781 : Turning point of the American Revolution PDF
by Ed Gilbert, Catherine Gilbert
Illustrated by Graham Turner
Part of the Campaign series
Description
This is a blistering account of the battle of Cowpens, a short, sharp conflict which marked a crucial turning point in the American Revolution.
With Lt. Col. Banastre Tarleton and the British troops in hot pursuit, Daniel Morgan, leading a small force of 700 Continentals and militia, chose the Cowpens as the battlefield in which to make a stand.
The two forces clashed for barely more than 45 minutes, yet this brief battle shaped the outcome of the War in the South and decisively influenced the conflict as a whole.
The authors provide a shrewd analysis of what was perhaps the finest tactical performance of the entire war.
Bird's-eye views, vivid illustrations and detailed maps illuminate the dynamism of this clash between two of the most famous commanders of the War of Independence.
