The atry of the of t'ornwallla at Yorktown, the rrownlng event of the ((evolution, la known to all, but York-towmight not have been possible had It not been for too earlier victories, One of them look dnce at King Mountain, when the front Ursmen of North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia overwhelmed the British leader Ferguson. and the other waa the battle of Cowpena. In connection wlih the action of congress providing for the Cowpena national monument the lilatorlrul section of the army war college prepared a "historical statement," printed as a house document, which gives by far the best account of this battle that has yet been written. The importance of that battle Is shown In the following statement from the document: Tarleton (leader of the British at CnwpenaV In his narrative, eommentlna on the two disasters which the British aulVrred In Itouth Carolina, said that the fall of Ferguson at Klnaa Mountain wae a catastrophe which put an end to the first es-- p edition Into North Carolina and that the battle of Cowpene overshadowed the commencement of the eerond eipedltlnn. Thle comment, taken In conjunction with the apprehension of Georg Washington that "ths Southern atatea will look upon thla victory at much more decisive In Its consequences than It really la." briefly summarises the result of the battle of Cowpena The effect et the time waa to hearten areally tha patriotic cause and to distress the British army and their Tory sympathiser beyond measure. It was the second link In the chain of eventa soon to be followed by others, which Anally led to the surrender of Cornwallla army at Yorktown. To have proper understanding of this buttle and Its Importance It Is necessary to take Into account the military situation In the South and some of the previous events. Briefly, these were as follows: Following tha capitulation of Charlestown on May 12. 1780, all of South Carolina waa In a con- d It Ion of subjugation within a few months, and In September, British headquarters were moved to Charlotte Town, N. C. Prior to thla Ldeutenant Colonel Ferguson had been detached with a small force of provincials to organize the militia and operate on Cornwallis' Aank. On the seventh of October hta entire command waa lost at Kings Mountain. Following thla disaster the British Held army waa withdrawn mora than alxty miles to Wynneaborough and there remained on tha defensive while awaiting Information relative to the rehabilitation of Oate'a arm (which had suffered a disastrous defeat at Catr.den on August 1(1 now commanded by Greene. Lieutenant Colonel Tarleton, the only officer remaining after Fergueon'a death, used by Cornwal-li- e for the command of roving troops, was eent to oppose Into the district north of Nlnety-SI- s General Morgan, and somewhat later Cornwallis resumed his march northward. Tarleton and Morgan met at Cowpena on the seventeenth of January and In a battle noted for the unusual tactics adopted by the Americans the British were defeated with heavy losses by a force Inferior In numbers, a considerable portion of which was militia. Cornwallis hoped to destroy or drive out of South Carolina the corps commanded by General There waa also hope that by Morgan rapid marches tha British main army would get between Greene and Virginia and by that means force the Americana to fight without receiving any reinforcements from that state or, falling In thla, to oblige Greene to quit North Carolina with precipitation and thereby encourage the friends of the Crown to make good their promises of a general rising to assist tbe British commander tn the royal government Morgan's purpose had been to harass Cornwallis' foraging and scouting parties and being more than a hundred miles away from Greene at the time, Cornwallis believed that Tarleton could crush Morgan before Greene could come to his aid. Morgan knew that Tarleton was coming after him but he had no Intention of engaging In a battle until he could do so on ground of his own choosing. Th place where General Mor, an established his camp the night of tha sixteenth was ear the Intersection of the Mill Gap road and the road from the present city of Spartanburg running northeast Into North Carolina and crossin the Broad river The poeition selected for at Island Ford the action lay on both aides of the Mill Gap road on both sidea of the camp Tbe ground la slightly undulating and at the time was covered v h tree of red oak, hickory and pine. Being used for the grazing of cattle there was but little if Two very slight elevations wny underbrush.

William Wei sJi Ion inj Col Piakojzj topped the rblge along which the Mill Gap road l runa and the. were ted aa tinea of development for the American troop. The main position was on the elevation juat south of the ravin In which re ip was established. To lie front fur !0 yards there is a scarcely slope downwards; he) end thle the elope la greater, dropp.ng off Into a .hallow ravin Too yards from the mam position To the rear of the main position and Just west of the ramp alts la an elevation slightly higher than that f the main position. Thla ridge continue across the mad In a south and southwest direction hut at a nlightly less elevation. From e ther aid the terrain the two waa vialbl under and through th trees The ground offered no rover for either the attaik or the deft use except xurh ax waa furnished by the trees The Ranks of both armies were exposed a the terrain waa favorabla In all direction for tha operations of mounted troops. Th ravin tn which Morgan ramped end one on th opposite aid of th road offered but little Interference with th movement of foot or mounted troop. Mnrgnn'e plan of battle waa to use th Maryland Continentals end ih Virginia militia (of equal worth to the Continentals a many had served In previous campaigns) In hla main position on the summit of th southermnst ridge and astride th Mill Gap road. Washington's dragoons to the number of to. augmented by the IS militia und-McCall, were th main reserve posted In th rear of the northernmost ridge where ground cover waa suOtrlent to protect them from hostile observation and fire and sufficiently near "aa to L able to charge tha enemy ehould they be broken." Th militia were to form an Interrupted line on th flanke In front, which position was to be held only temporarily, when they were to withdraw and reform on the flank of the main position after reorganisation had been effected and lend what assistance they could as an additional reserve. At tMa time Howard' Maryland and Delaware Continentals consisted of 237 men. They were on of th left the line, astride the Mill Gap placed road. To their right were Captain Ueatle's and Major Triplett's companies of Virginia militia, under th command of the Intter and totaling about 100 men. Captains Tate and Buchanan, with about 100 of the Augusta riflemen of Virginia, supported tha right of the line In the advanced position, which was to be abandoned early In the fight, were about 208 militia from North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia, under Colonel Pickens. These troops were situated to guard the flanke. Major McDowell of the North Carolina volunteers waa posted on the right flank, ISO yarde tn front of Howard' line. Major Cunningham of the Georgia volunteers waa on the left flank at the same distance In front of Howard's line. To the right of Major McDoAell were posted the South Carolina volunteers under Colonels Brannon and Thnmaa. To tha left of Major Cunningham was potted the remainder of the South Carolina militia under Colonel Hayes and Major Hammond. The latter commanded Major McCall's regiment, he being with Colonel Washington. From Pickens' line of militia small parties of riflemen were sent ISO yards farther to th front to aklrmlsh with th enemy. McDowell commanded those tn th right sector of the skirmish line and Cunningham, those In th left sector. Patrols covered th front and flanks to give warning of Tarleton approach. Tarleton broke ramp at I oclock In the morning, determined to engage the Americana before they could cross th Broad or In case they made an early march and continued their withdrawal to strike them when astride the river. When the British com m an dor saw the disposition of Morgans troops he was delighted for he believed thut he could make short work of them. He had a force of about l.tXK) men and although be believed that Morgan's force totaled less than 1,020, he felt that he could Ignore the value of the 1,000 militia and 300 backwoodsmen In Morgans army and make a quick job of the 500 Continentals and 120 cavalry. Deploying his troops along the line of Morgan's front he moved to the attack at about eight oclock. Driving In the front line skirmishes nnder Cunningham and McDowell, from whose Cre Tarleton 's Infantry had suffered but little, he advanced against Pickens line of militia which kept np a (ire by regiments for a short time and then, according to their orders, retreated. The British line had still suffered hut little as it approached the Coutinentals and Virginians under Howard. As Howard's men opened fire the British advance was temporarily checked. At this moment, Tarleton sent the two troops of dragoons, which he had posted on each end of his line to guard his flanks, into action. He now had about 750 Infantry In line, supported by two and was opposed by less guns than 450 Infantry In Howard's lire. The militia which had withdrawn to the flanks of Howard's line had not yet reformed and it was doubtful at the moment whether they would be of any use. Tarletons dragoons charged upon them and were cutting them down when Washington counter- le r (three-pounder- I he left of Howards e line and relieved the there somewhat. It became evident to Howard that when Tarleton should bring bis reserves In'o action his ex xmed right flunk might tie thrown Into confusion and lie ordered the flunk company to change front to the right. Ills orders were misunderstood and this company begun to ret rent. The officers along Howard s line, seeing this, and supposing that orders had txM-- given for a retreat, faced their men about and legnn to reilre. Morgan, who waa en gaged In reforming the mlllt lit. was surprised to see his Continentals, who hud fought so valiantly at Cumden, In apparent retreat He quickly rode over to Howard, "What are you retreating for?' he shouted. "Simply a change of position to protect my right flank," replied Howard. "Are you healen?" asked Morgan. Pointing to his men. Howard said. "Men who are retreating In that order are not heal on." Morgan then ordered Howard to continue his retiring movement until he reached the rising ground In the rear and then rode back to select the position where they were to make their stand. The British, seeing this movement and believing victory within their grasp, pressed forward with fixed bnyonets. Tarlelon's cavalry was ordered to charge. By this time not more than thirty yards separated the "retreating" Americans and redcoats. the victory-flushe- d Suddenly Howard gave a sharp order. Ills men wheeled right-abou- t face nnd from their guns poured b sheet of flame which stopped the British In their tracks and threw them Into great confusion, llownrd then Hack over gave the order Charge bayonets!" the ground which they had Just crossed swept Howards Marylanders. Like a thunderbolt Washington's cavalry dashed down upon them. The panic which caught the British Infantry spread to Tnrletons dragoons and a general flight followed Tarleton tried in vain to rally his men hut It was useless. Within twenty minutes after the bnttle began It was over nnd the British were Tarleton had suffered a completely defented. loss of 110 killed, 200 wounded, and 531 taken prisoner. The American loss was slight 12 killed nnd CO wounded. The spoils of their victory amounted to 2 standards, 2 cannon, SCO stands of arms, 100 dragoon horses and 35 wagons. "It appeared to the British when I Iowa ids line fell back," writes the army war college historian, "that victory was at hand and so It would have been had the line been composed of men less Inured to battle than were the Continentals of Maryland and Delaware. There was no delay or hesitation when the order to halt, face the enemy and fire, was given, and there then occurred In a moment a scene of dumbfounded surprise, con ' fusion and panic seldom witnessed In battle. The outcome resulted In one of the most gloriously unexpected victories of the Revolutionary war. As a result of this brilliant victory, Morgan and his men were given the thanks of the United States for their fortitude and good conduct dls played In the action at Cowpens" nnder a resolution of congress, March 9. 1781. The resolutions further provided that a gold medal be presented to General Morgan; silver medals to Colonels Washington and Howard and a sword to Colonel Pickens. Tarleton, In his report to Cornwallis, attributed his defeat to the bravery or good conduct of the Americans; to the loose manner of forming which had always been practiced by the King's troops In America; or to some unforseen event, which may throw terror Into the most disciplined soldiers or counteract the best concerted designs. Whatever the reason, however. It was a crippling blow to Cornwallis, for the victory of Cowpens had deprived him of his most effective light Infantry and, as later events proved. It led eventually to his downfall. On January 19 Cornwallis started in pursuit of Morgan to cut him off from Joining Greene and. If possible, to recapture Mor gan's prisoners. By a superb march Morgan eluded him and Joined Greene In North Carolina. Then followed the masterly series of maneuvers by the Rhode Island blacksmith (Greene) which ended In the battle of Guilford Court House and finally forced Cornwallis lo retreat into Virginia. He took his position at Yorktown. Washington completely deceived the British in the North as to his future plans, marched South, swooped down upon Cornwallis and tbs' pn-Mur- Is history asdis- Txke i Wul If eff Meat.
