But the retreat cf the American DAXIEL MORGAN. 241 commander was not long continued. Irritated by pursuit, rein- forced by a body of militia, and reposing great confidence in the spirit and firmness of his regular troops, he halted at the Cowpens, and determined to gratify his adversary in his eagerness for com- bat. This was on the night of the 10th of January, 1781. Ear- ly in the morning of the succeeding day, Tarleton, being apprised of the situation of Morgan, pressed towards him with a re...doubled rapidity, lest, by renewing his retreat, he should again elude him.
"But Morgan now had other thoughts than those of flight. Al- ready had he, for several days, been at war with himself in rela- tion to his conduct. Glorying in action, his spirit recoiled frora the humiliation of retreat, and his resentment was roused by the insolence of pursuit. This mental conflict becoming more intol- erable to him than disaster or death, his courage triumphed, per- haps, over his prudence, and he resolved on putting every thing to the hazard of the sword.
