Daniel Morgan left home at 17 and built business as teamster, and served as a civilian teamster during the French and Indian War.  During the retreat from Fort Duquesne, he was punished with 500 lashes (a usually fatal sentence) for attacking an officer. Morgan thus acquired a disdain for British authorities and their treatment of provincials. Joining the Patriot cause in 1775, he was part of Arnold's invasion of Canada, and was taken prisoner.  

After two years he was exchanged, and ordered by General Washington to raise and command a new infantry regiment, the 11th Virginia Regiment of the Continental Line.  He was also given simultaneous command of the Provisional Rifle Corps, a light infantry force of 500 riflemen chosen from Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia regiments of the Continental Army.  He led his men a Saratoga, Freemans Farm, Bemis Heights, and, most famously, in his crushing defeat of the British at the Cowpens.  He is quoted as saying, "I fought everywhere, was beaten nowhere." 

Honor this great American hero with this graphic tee.
