Valley Forge was the location of the winter encampment of the American troops. Myth has it that the men were in bad shape, no food, and were cold. The National Park Service has proven that this was not true. The troops got 3 pounds of meats and vegetables a day to eat, were well dressed, and stayed 3-4 to small huts/houses. Washington told Congress they were in bad shape because he knew that if Congress really knew how well off they were they would quit sending money and help. He politically spun the story to make sure his troops were taken care of. He was very much a politician.
