How did the army fair during the winter of ( valley forge )?

The park service historians have uncovered letters and artifacts that show the men at Valley Forge did very well. Unlike the story about their starving, sick, and no shoes they were well fed, warm in cabins, and did have shoes. The misinformation maybe due to the letter that Washington wrote to congress. He told them they were in bad shape, but if he stated that they were doing well he was afraid they would cut funding for his troops. They were so well off that officer wives stayed at Valley Forge and this included Mrs. Washington. If conditions had been bad the women would never have been allowed to come to the encampment.


What difficulties did the Patroits face valley at Valley Forge?

The story we know about valley forge is more legend than fact. We have been told the men were cold, hungry and shoeless. Not true.The park service reports that they had plenty of food, were in warm huts, and they did have shoes. The conditions were so good that Mrs. Washington and other officer wives stayed there with their husbands. One reason that we have been told about bad conditions is because when Washington wrote to Congress he stated that things were not very good. He did this because if he reported they were warm and well fed that Congress would cut funding, so he "spun" the facts. Washington was a very smart commander and politician and understood his position was always one where Congress could be difficult to deal with.


Why were more than 2500 members of Washington Army lost at Valley Forge?

No one was lost at Valley Forge. Federal park historians have proven that the men were well fed, warm, and had clothing. It is a myth that they weren't , but it may have come from letters Washington wrote to Congress. He knew if he told them that the men were doing well and had enough Congress would cut funds, so he spun a story telling them they needed supplies. Martha Washington and other wives also came to the camp and had the conditions been so dire they wouldn't have been there. The two-thirds that did die of the 2000 men died in the Spring months of flu, colds, and dysentery not of hunger or of exposure. Please visit the National park service site for the story of Valley Forge.

What hardships did they face at Valley Forge?

Recent research by the National park historians have disproven the old story about the conditions at Valley Forge. They have found evidence that the men were well fed, had warm clothing, and lived in warm huts. Mrs. Washington even spent some time there with her husband and had the conditions been so bad women would not have been allowed in the camp. The story about the conditions may actually stem from letters by Washington that he sent to Congress. He knew that if he told them that everyone was doing well that the money would dry up, so instead he played the politician and reported they needed items and food. That winter was one of the coldest and the East Coast was going through a mini ice age at the time. These conditions may have helped Washington when he took Trenton by surprise.
