Product Details:

This is a reproduction of Wlliam Ranney's The Battle of Cowpens. The Battle of Cowpens was depicted in the final Battle of the fantastic film "The Patriot" featuring Mel Gibson. On January 17, 1781, the Battle of Cowpens commenced. General Morgan, with the support of Colonel Andrew Pickens and Colonel William Washington, positioned his troops in a carefully planned formation. He placed sharpshooters at the front, followed by militiamen and Continental Army soldiers. As Tarleton's forces charged forward, the American sharpshooters unleashed a hail of accurate gunfire, causing confusion and panic among the British ranks. The militia, initially appearing to retreat, drew the British deeper into the battlefield. At a crucial moment, the American militia abruptly turned and unleashed a devastating volley, catching the British by surprise. Meanwhile, the Continental Army soldiers, led by Lieutenant Colonel John Eager Howard, held their ground and engaged the enemy head-on. The American cavalry, under Colonel Washington, struck the British flank, causing further chaos and disarray.
