Reviews for A Devil of a Whipping: The Battle of Cowpens
"An exceptionally well-researched and richly detailed treatment of one of the most important battles of the American Revolution." - Military History of the West "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"
