The choice of the Cowpens battlefield was remarkable and shrewd. From the British perspective, it looks like a clear view of the entire field. But if you walk the battlefield, you find the dead ground where the Americans hid their pincers for the flank attacks. It’s like an optical illusion, but it is most definitely there.
Though I’ve driven past Cowpens many times I’ve never had the time to stop. Hopefully I’ll get to do it this summer. I love poking around historical places.
