Over the vast distances and rough terrain of the Revolutionary War,
the tactics that Daniel Morgan had learned in Indian fighting--the
thin skirmish line, the stress upon individual marksmanship, the
hit-and-run mobility--were an important element of his success as a
commander. He combined this success on the battlefield with a deep
devotion to the soldiers serving under him. In a conflict that
abounded in vital personalities, Morgan's was one of the most
colorful. Illiterate, uncultivated, and contentious, he
nevertheless combined the resourcefulness of a frontiersman with a
native gift as a tactician and leader. His rise from humble origins
gives forceful testimony to the democratic spirit of the new
America.
