Valley Forge never was a battle it was the camp of Washington's troops. They left from this camp on Dec. 24th , 1776 to cross the Delaware River to take the Hessian troops while they were having great fun for Christmas. His men were so ragged that they left bloody footprints in the snow because their boots had rotted or they didn't have any. This was the first win for Washington and helped push the American cause forward.
The particularly severe winter of 1777-1778 proved to be a great trial for the American army, and of the 11,000 soldiers stationed at Valley Forge, hundreds died from disease.
France-- When the Marqui de Lafayette came to offer his help to George Washington with French troops, he was only 19 years old! Also, Baron von Steuben, a mercenary Prussian General was of great help with the training of Washington's troops at Valley Forge.
Washington's Army spent the Winter of 1777-78 camped at Valley Forge in Southeast PennsylvaniaOn the march to Valley Forge, Washington's army lacked supplies. Many soldiers had only blankets to cover themselves.They also lacked shoes. The barefoot men left tracks of blood on the frozenground as they marched.The soldiers' condition did not improve at camp. Over the winter, thesoldiers at Valley Forge grew weak from not having enough food or warmclothing. Roughly a quarter of them died from malnutrition, exposure, ordiseases such as smallpox and typhoid fever. Because of this suffering, thename Valley Forge came to stand for the great hardships that Americansendured in the Revolutionary War.Washington appealed to Congress for supplies, but it was slow in responding.Luckily, private citizens sometimes helped the soldiers. On New Year'sDay 1778, a group of Philadelphia women drove ten teams of oxen intocamp. The oxen were pulling wagons full of supplies and 2,000 shirts. Thewomen had the oxen killed to provide food for the troops.
