A Devil of a Whipping: The Battle of Cowpens

The Battle of Cowpens: A New Vision is a groundbreaking book that provides a fresh and accurate interpretation of one of the most pivotal battles in American history.

Written by Lawrence Babits, a renowned historian, this book offers a minute-by-minute account of the fighting at Cowpens, using veterans' sworn pension statements, long-forgotten published accounts, and a thorough knowledge of weaponry, tactics, and the art of moving men across the landscape.

The author's innovative approach creates an absorbing common soldier's version of the conflict, refuting much of the mythology that has clouded our picture of the battle.

With a focus on the landscape, drill manual, time frame, and participants' accounts, Babits puts the events at Cowpens into a sequence that makes sense, providing an accurate accounting of the numbers involved and the battle's length.

The book also sheds light on the actions of North Carolina militia and American cavalry, and answers questions that the participants themselves could not explain.
