Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A concise summary of this turning point in the American Revolution with facts, maps, historical significance, strategies, and more. By the summer of 1780, Great Britain held the advantage in the American Revolution. A strategic shift to the south had borne fruit. British forces controlled the major ports of Savannah and Charleston, and Maj. Gen. Charles Cornwallis had recently trounced American forces under Gen. Horatio Gates at Camden, South Carolina. But Gen. Nathanael Greene, Gen. George Washington’s newly appointed southern commander, was about to turn things around. Instead of massing his forces, he divided them, sending Brig. Gen. Daniel Morgan southwestward. When British forces caught up to Morgan at Cowpens in January 1781, he was more than ready. Morgan’s victory was a tactical masterpiece, echoing Hannibal’s ancient triumph over the Romans at Cannae. Cowpens set in motion a chain of events leading to Yorktown and, ultimately, American independence. Learn how Daniel Morgan effectively used the Continental militia while designing a tactical plan to exploit the overconfidence and aggressiveness of his British opponent, Lt. Col. Banastre Tarleton. The Battle Digest summary includes all the key aspects of the campaign and battle, including maps, images, and lessons learned.

Book excerpt: The Battle of Cowpens is considered to be one of the most important victories of the American Revolution. On January 17, 1781, Continental General Daniel Morgan led his ragtag army of Continental regulars and local militia into battle on a South Carolina cow pasture against a superior force of British Army regulars commanded by Banastre Tarleton. Thanks to Morgan's innate understanding of American frontier psychology, and a unique battlefield formation that has been called the only "original tactical thought" of the American Revolution, Morgan defeated Tarleton in a victory many historians believe eventually led indirectly to the British surrender at Yorktown. Battle of Cowpens: Primary & Contemporary Accounts collects for the first time in a single volume the correspondence and memoirs of the soldiers who participated in the battle. Included here are first-person accounts from both Daniel Morgan and Banastre Tarleton, as well as other soliders who participated in the battle from both the British and American sides. Also in this volume are several accounts of the battle written in the years directly following the event, along with correspondence from other principal actors in the American Revolution's "Southern Campaign," including Nathanael Greene, Charles Cornwallis, and George Washington. With an introduction by the editor, Battle of Cowpens: Primary & Contemporary Accounts takes the reader onto the field of this historic American victory with the soldiers who fought there.

The Battle of the Cowpens can be studied for its many lessons in tactics and leadership, but, there is another approach that can be made. Cowpens is an ideal example of how a commander successfully employed all the Principles of War in spite of unfavorable weather and terrain conditions and against an adversary whose troops were better trained and equipped than his own.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Bingham Meade was the fourth great grandfather of the author, Elaine Meddings. This book tells his story, starting at the Battle of Cowpens in northwestern South Carolina. For many historians, the Battle of Cowpens was the turning point in the American Revolutionary War. William was seriously wounded at the Battle of Cowpens and spent a long time in hospital thereafter. Then, after he recovered sufficiently, he moved to what is now Mingo County, West Virginia. After the War, those who served in the Continental Army were given Treasury Warrants which were redeemable for land in certain states and territories. What happened to William before and at the Battle of Cowpens is chronicled in this book and the mystery of what happened to his Treasury Warrant is introduced. The mystery continues to this day.
