No one was lost at Valley Forge. Federal park historians have proven that the men were well fed, warm, and had clothing. It is a myth that they weren't , but it may have come from letters Washington wrote to Congress. He knew if he told them that the men were doing well and had enough Congress would cut funds, so he spun a story telling them they needed supplies. Martha Washington and other wives also came to the camp and had the conditions been so dire they wouldn't have been there. The two-thirds that did die of the 2000 men died in the Spring months of flu, colds, and dysentery not of hunger or of exposure.

When did the battle of Valley Forge start and end?
There was never a battle at Valley Forge, as mistakenly thought by a few people. However, because of the terrible winter and lack of provisions, over 2000 men died from disease and starvation. Scurvy was rampant since the soldiers were not furnished with the proper nutrients in their diet of firecakes. Valley Forge is where the modern American Army was born. When the men marched into Valley Forge, after a mean defeat in Germantown and Whitemarsh, they were a concoction of farmers, laborers, lawyers, doctors, etc., who were not used to battle. However, they all had one goal, to defeat the British and save their country. Ben Franklin arranged for Baron Von Steuben of Prussia to come to Valley Forge and train George Washington's men to the proper ways of the soldiery. These brave men marched out of Valley Forge as real Soldiers, ready to do battle with the British once more. The rest is History.

What happened at Valley Forge?
Valley Forge was a base camp of the Continental Army (George Washington's Army) in the Revolutionary War. It is where Washington and his men stayed for l winter. it was harsh and desperate. Many of the men were barefoot in the bitter cold. Most were starving from little food. All were freezing to death because they wore rags. Frostbite and other things gnawed at the men. Over 2,000 men out of 10,000 soldiers died in camp that winter. Men thought there was no hope. Then a man named Baron Fredrich William von Stuben rallied the men and taught them how to be professional soldiers. It was a major turning point in the war because the men were trained by a man named Freidrich von Steuben. The men were now able to fight the British with more skill than before.
