The Cowpens battlefield is pretty compact and so a visit doesn't take long, but is very interesting.

Banastre Carlton, later 1st Baronet, had no idea a colonial officer could pull off a Cannae maneuver and destroy his command. :-))

Tarleton had little good to say about colonial forces generally but he had utter disdain for militia.
I imagine when he saw the militia on the front line his heart jumped with joy. But old Dan Morgan had a surprise for him. :)

Looking forward to visiting the Cowpens.
