Cowpens and Daniel Morgan - Old News Articles

Back again, it never ceases to amaze and delight me what great history articles from the past are out there on the web waiting to be discovered, as well as their writers and sometimes artists of rare talent. When the topic concerns an important often overlooked battle and a combat leader who really deserved his accolades, well I just feel compelled to post a tribute of some humble nature:
