Perhaps the best fought and one of the least known battles of the Revolution. A Devil of a WhippingFrom the preface. Final stimulation to work on Cowpens came from the brilliant work by Douglas Scott and Richard Fox. Assigned to investigate the battlefield at Little Bighorn National Monument, they located artifacts, excavated, and computerized their data. Their work did not change the battleās outcome, but the new details challenged traditional interpretations about how Custer met his end.2 Cowpens cannot be investigated the same way because eighteenth-century weapons technology was different. At Cowpens, the many written accounts from both sides make its interpretation easier than that of the battle of the Little Bighorn, where only Indians survived to tell what happened.
