Query: A welcome addition to Revolutionary War history!

The author does an excellent job of delivering a very thorough account of the battle of Cowpens. This well-researched work is very illuminating in depicting the challenges each army faced, combined with the tactical and strategic plans of both Tarleton and Morgan. The author is to be complimented on a work of significant detail. Countervailing the credit for detail, I must note that the story is not told in the most riveting fashion. As the author is a university professor, I believe the writing evidences an excessive concern for peer review of his research. This focus on academic concerns detracts from the weaving of the story. I recommend this book, compliment the author on a research job well-done, and advise readers that even with the book's academic tone, the story comes through and it deserves to be read.
