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.
