It was On This Day in 1781 that Brigadier General Daniel
Morgan and a mixed Patriot force defeated British Lieutenant Colonel Banastre
Tarleton and his more battle experienced men at the Battle of Cowpens in South Carolina . This
battle came to be referred to in the South as the turning point of the
Revolutionary War.
On
This Day is a prompt I started this month to further explore historical events.
I will make every effort to keep events localized to that of my research or
research I am conducting for others. However, from time to time, it will simply
be a subject that captured my attention.
