What did you think of King’s Mountain and Cowpens?

I found Cowpens a bit surprising. The which behind which some of the American forces hid from Tarleton’s view before they were needed seemed surprisingly low. Otherwise, the battlefield looked a lot as I imagined it.

King’s Mountain looks a lot like the way it was described - a large hilly area fully forested and the grave of Ferguson in the mdist of the wildnerness was pretty moving. I wonder why the Brits never moved his body back to England.

I also visited Cowpens and was impressed by the same thing about the geography. The feature that concealed the American reserves is so gentle that you really don't see it until you are in it.

Despite my dislike of all things Tarleton, his mistake on that count was understandable.
