Book Reviews of A Devil of a Whipping: The Battle of Cowpens
Book Review: Buy this book!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is the best book ever written on the Battle of Cowpens, PERIOD. Any serious student of the Revolutionary War, Cowpens or Daniel Morgan should have this book, NOW. The amount of research and new information included in this book is incredible. I have studied the Southern Campaign and this battle in particular for years and was amazed at the amount of information I did not know. While being vastly informative, this book remains very readable. If you have only one book on the Battle of Cowpens, this should be it! I have only one minor suggestion for future editions of the book. I was pleased to see topographical maps of the battlefield included with illustrations of troop movements. However, these maps would have been made even more useful had elevation values been included on the contour lines. Having been to the battlefield it would have been nice to see exactly how much the Swale has filled in etc... Outside of that one minor flaw, "A Devil of a Whipping" is nearly perfect.
