Morgan's double envelopment strategy at Cowpens was a tactical masterpiece that is still studied at West Point.
Jerry,
I agree,a tactical masterpiece. I live only about 35 miles from the battlefield so I have had the chance to study the terrain which is now preserved much as it was the day the battle was fought. I would have to rank this battle as being up there with Cannae as far as almost perfect battle tactics (if such a thing exists)
By the way Jerry, almost halfway through your book which I purchased through last month. Many comliments!
Craig
