The encampment Washinton and his forces stayed at during the winter of 1777 was Valley Forge. Valley Forge is known as a plave that was most likely the worst for the soldiers. Over 2,000 men were unfit for duty because of lack of shoes, cloths, illnesses and etc. They suffered from things like lice and Typhoid fevere. However, Valley Forge was where Washingtion took steps to motivate his troops by reading The Crisis by Thomas Paine aloud... "These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman."
