The Battle ground of the Cowpens is in spar Vanburgh 17 Miles North of the and four or sve Miles from the North Carolina line.

On the Mem Oracle 17th of january 1781, Fine entire country for Miles around the Battle ground was one vast untouched Forest. The inhabitant o5 the lower part of District had been in the habit of driving their cattle into this part of the country for the purpose of grazing and had erected pens a the neighbourhood for the purpose of salting and marking them. Hence the origin of the Battle ground. The Field of Bat in the rear and renewed the engage ment. Three Hundred of the British were Kihe and five Hun dred taken prisoners.

For the fact was Tarle ton had just got out of sight As Washington Rode up. Had the american cavalry continued their Pursuit fifteen minutes Lunger the remnant of Tho British troops could have been either captured or killed. The next the Battle a por Tion of the. Militia was despatched to Bury the dead. Three places Are now to be distinctly seen. The largest is near the Chimney of a Cabin some Hun dred Yards above the Battle the second is fifty to 100 Yards Distant and the third on the spot where the Battle took place.
