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.
