Lawrence E. Babits is professor of maritime history and nautical archaeology at East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina, USA.
An exceptionally well-researched and richly detailed treatment of
one of the most important battles of the American Revolution.
("Military History of the West")
Babits comes closer than any previous historian to reconstructing
the eighteenth-century soldier's experience of combat and has given
us as close to a definitive account of the battle of Cowpens as we
are ever likely to have. ("Virginia Magazine of History and
Biography")
One of the best analyses that we have of an individual
Revolutionary War engagement. ("Journal of American History")
One of Babits's purposes was the hope that the Cowpens veterans
would not be forgotten. The masterful work that he has produced
goes far towards achieving that purpose. ("Journal of Southern
History")
With the tools of social history, Lawrence Babits has demonstrated
what military historians have long argued: war is above all else a
human endeavor worthy of study to complete the record of mankind's
struggle to survive and to achieve. ("William & Mary Quarterly")
