  • The Winter at Valley Forge (1777)
  • The winter forage served as winter quarters for George Washington and his army. The camp was right outside of Philadelphia after the British took it over. Valley forge was very defensible due to its high ground and position. The forage was close enough for Washington to maintain pressure on the British.

  • Problems Faced by the Soldiers #1
