Valley Forge
Valley Forge soldiers endured cold, snow, lack of food, lack of shoes and uniforms while nearby Philadelphia had good housing, firewood for heat, plenty of boots and uniforms, lots of food, and women to have parties with.
General George Washington and his weary troops arrived at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania six days before Christmas in 1777. The men were hungry and tired after a string of losing battles that had resulted in the British capture of the patriot capital, Philadelphia, earlier in the fall. The defeats had led some members of the Continental Congress to want to replace Washington, believing he was incompetent.The Valley Forge winter camp site was approximately 20 miles northwest of Philadelphia—about a day’s march from the British-occupied American capital. Most of the land had previously been cleared for agriculture, leaving an open, rolling landscape. They had no warm, food, and new clothes.
