The Battle of Cowpens (small volume)
- The Battle of Cowpens (small volume)
"The Battle of Cowpens", published in 1958, is the last work of the late novelist Kenneth Roberts. It covers the Battle of Cowpens during the American Revolution.
"The battle was the turning point in the American Revolution, when Morgan's rough & ready raiders took on Tarleton's veteran troops in a South Carolina meadow and in less than an hour showed the way that Yorktown would go. This is a diorama of the battle done with the unfailing skill of Roberts at his best through the last. It is a gem of historical re-enactment." - Charles A. Wagner, "New York Mirror"
