What kind of battle was Valley Forge?
Valley Forge wasn't a battle site. It was the winter quarters for Washington's troops. Many people believe that the troops were hungry, cold, and didn't do well that winter. The Park Service historians have proven this was not true. The men were well fed, had warm cabins, and did fairly well in the conditions. Washington "spun" his letters to Congress not to show how well off they were. He was afraid if they knew that Congress would cut back on funding so he would complain about conditions.
What was the soldiers morale at Valley Forge?
Historical records show that it was pretty good. They were well fed, warm, and wives came. The fable that has grown up around the camp has been proven wrong by federal park historians. The story may have begun with Washington in his letters to congress. He spun a report that they needed things, but he did this to make sure they kept the funding the same and not reduce it.
Where did the patriots sleep at Valley Forge?
The soldiers had cabins with 2-4 men to a cabin. The legend about them cold and starving is wrong. Park historical research and records show that they were well fed, warm, and played games. The conditions were so good officers wives came including Martha Washington to be with their husbands. The site is open for visitors today and they have examples of the cabins the soldiers lived in.
How hard is it to get into Valley Forge military college?
My brother just started going there and he got a scholarship. I'm pretty sure that it is about 25,000 dollars a year without a scholarship. You have to have pretty good grades to get in and be involved in activities. You have to show leadership skills. I know that this isn't much but I hope it helps.
What happened to the American troops at Valley Forge?
Valley Forge is surrounded in myth. We are told a story that the soldiers were freezing to death and nearly starved. That this was the worse winter in the Revolution and that men were so naked that they left bloody footprints in the snow. This is an exaggeration. Studies by the National Park Service and a team of archaeologist in the 1970's show that no one starved or froze. The researchers found that in December, January, and February that the 10,000 man army was supplied each month with a million pounds of flour and a million pounds of meat and fish. Broken down this means that each soldier was given more than 3 pounds of flour and more than 3 pounds of fish or meat per day. It seems that Washington overplayed the problems at the camp to obtain more aid from Congress and to fend off criticism that the army should spend the winter on the march. Washington was a shrewd man.

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.
