What hardships did they face at Valley Forge?
Recent research by the National park historians have disproven the old story about the conditions at Valley Forge. They have found evidence that the men were well fed, had warm clothing, and lived in warm huts. Mrs. Washington even spent some time there with her husband and had the conditions been so bad women would not have been allowed in the camp. The story about the conditions may actually stem from letters by Washington that he sent to Congress. He knew that if he told them that everyone was doing well that the money would dry up, so instead he played the politician and reported they needed items and food. That winter was one of the coldest and the East Coast was going through a mini ice age at the time. These conditions may have helped Washington when he took Trenton by surprise.
