At Cowpens, Daniel Morgan, a backcountry leader, and his militia defeated British forces under the feared Lieutenant Colonel Banastre Tarleton. Traditionally, historians claimed Morgan used a three-line defense, but this book challenges that view. Morgan's true innovation lay in massing riflemen on the front line to target British officers at long range, followed by close-quarters combat with a single line of regular soldiers. The strategy devastated British leadership and ensured American victory, with nearly the entire British force killed or captured.
