My DAR wife had an ancestor at Cowpens. We walked it and have a Cowpens print hanging on our family room wall.

I also have a Cowpens battle ancestor . He went on to be severely wounded by the saber strike of one of Tarleton’s cavalry at the battle of Guilford Courthouse . Surviving the war to accorded a heroe’s reward of a land tract in the war western wilderness , now known as Tennessee . There establishing first a family farm , then a trading post and finally allowing the incorporation of what grew to become a well known TN small city . History is an interesting thing .

Fantastic. I visit battlefields consistently and always enjoy the learning experience. Antietam was closest to me but I’ve been to almost all sites including Cowpens. Love the WWI and WWII battlefields in Europe. If only Military History were truly taught in schools.
