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.
