Actually, it wasn't as hard as we have been told. The men had little heated cabins, had plenty of food, and did fairly well. The conditions allowed for the,officer wives to stay with their husbands. Martha Washington was there with George. One reason we think they were not doing well were from the letters Washington wrote to Congress. He knew if he told them how well they were doing that his funds would be reduced, so he spun the narrative to tell them how bad off the troops were. Today, the park service has proven that they were doing fine.
