HEROES AND HEROINES OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION (Series)
THE OLD WAGONER
Written by Idella Bodie
As a young man, Daniel drove a supply wagon with food, ammunition, and other provisions for the British army. Although he was not old, he earned the nickname of "The Old Wagoner." He even called himself that in talking to others.
Morgan's fame as a soldier came when he fought the British in the French and Indian War. Native Americans, who had long occupied these lands, joined the British or the French. Each side made promises of treating the Indians right when the battle was over.

Daniel Morgan led a company of militia through numerous battles including Saratoga. But his finest moment was leading the southern Patriot force to a brilliant victory over Banastre Tarleton at the Battle of Cowpens--using a risky battle plan.This book describes the childhood, military service, and accomplishments of Daniel Morgan, especially as they relate to the southern campaigns of the American Revolution.
