A Good Read, A Devil of a Whipping, The Battle of Cowpens

 My continued efforts to give a good account of member's patriots for the Newsletter Supplement on Virginia has led me to purchase a paperback copy of Lawrence E. Babits' book on Cowpens.  The book, "A Devil of a Whipping, The Battle of Cowpens" is very interesting from the very start of the Preface.

Well, worth adding to a library on the Revolutionary War.
