One of the 1968 Interim projects deposited some of its materials in the college archives. Here are some photos from the “Remember The Cowpens” project from that first Interim.
Notice the snow on the ground – let’s just say that when they camped out on the Cowpens battlefield, these students really got to experience what it would have been like 231 years ago this week when Daniel Morgan’s soldiers fought the British under Lt. Col. Banastre Tarleton.
This project involved studying the Battle of Cowpens from all angles.
Below are some more photos.
The banner, which is also in the college archives, represented a fictitious unit that participated in the re-enactment. Another photo shows participants attempting to re-create a flanking maneuver – probably part of the famous “double envelopment” executed by Morgan’s men.
