Americana Corner has begun a new series of videos on Daniel Morgan. The first one is approximately 2 minutes, 39 seconds. They will be releasing new videos in this series approximately every week.
Here is the link to the first Daniel Morgan video:

Americana Corner is a good resource for information on the War of Independence, but relatively new.
If you have not read any of the biographies on Daniel Morgan, I would urge you to do so. His life is fascinating and he is one of the individuals who inspired the Benjamin Martin character in the Mel Gibson film "The Patriot" (the others being Francis Marion, the "Swamp Fox;" Andrew Pickens; and Thomas Sumter). The final battle in that movie is partially based on the Battle of Cowpens which is often studied in military war colleges.
The biographies will also provide you lots of material for introduction of the "Hits Count" ("Redcoat") target for 25 meter rifle events, and for "DOM / DOD" sessions. The feats of the members of his riflemen corps are amazing, worth the read, and I sometimes mention them while 7th Stepping.
