3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, strange, but ultimately unsatisfying 31 Mar 2003
By J. B. Thomas - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
If you are looking for a detailed account of the Cowpens and/or Guilford Courthouse battles, look elsewhere (I much prefer Babit's "A Devil of a Whipping" for Cowpens). But there is a fair amount of detail of the marching and skirmishing between the two. Unfortunately, the few maps do little to support the text. The Guilford Courthouse map is cramped by trying to show the entire battle on one page and DOESN'T HAVE A SCALE. Considering that an entire chapter is devoted to Cowan's Ford, one might expect it to show up somewhere on a map. It would also have been nice to see the march routes on a map. The primary redeeming social value of the book is the last chapter on "The Lessons." The author does some quality analysis of what could have been learned.

3.0 out of 5 stars Dated 18 Aug 2008
By Scholar - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
A fast-paced dramatic read a la the "old school," the book is dated now and readers should see Buchanan's THE ROAD TO GUILFORD COURTHOUSE instead.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Cowpens-Guilford Corthouse Campaign 12 Oct 2008
By Tommy D. Gaines - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I havent had a chance to read the whole thing yet but so far it has proven to be very informative. There is information in it about one of my ancestors who was killed during the Revolutionary War. I am finding information that I had not known before.
