The Battle of Cowpens, Reexamined

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.
