Daniel Morgan was a big rough hard drinking man who preferred drinking and gambling to study. When he was 16 he left home after a fight with his father and settled in Charles Town in what was then the frontier of Virginia. However he showed an ablility to work hard and to invest. During the Revolutionary War he showed his skills as a masterful battlefield tactician, in 1778 Morgan became Colonel of the 7th Virginia Regiment. In 1780 Nathaniel Greene gave Daniel Morgan command of 700 men to forage and harass the enemy in the back country of South Carolina. On the morning of January 17, 1871 Morgan and his men met Colonel Tarleton, who was sent to South Carolina by the British General Cornwallis, and the Battle of Cowpens ensued. Morgan won this battle due to cunning planning and ability and this is considered one of the tactical masterpieces of the American Revolutionary War. After the War, Daniel Morgan returned to his home in Charles Town and built up land holdings of over 250,000 acres, he also built a home in Winchester and named it Saratoga, after his victory in New York. In 1794 Morgan was again called to service and was instrumental in suppressing the Whiskey Rebellion. Virginia honored him in 1821 by naming a county after him. Morgan County is now in the state of West Virginia as it was in the western part of the state of Virginia which split off during the Civil War to become West Virginia. In 1881, the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Cowpens, a statue of Morgan was placed in the village square at Spartanburg, South Carolina. Of course, South Carolina also honored Daniel Morgan by placing him on this obsolete money.
