During the winter of 1777-1778, the Continental Army, led by General George Washington, endured a harsh encampment at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. The troops faced severe shortages of food, clothing, and shelter, leading to significant suffering and hardship. Despite these challenges, the army emerged stronger, benefiting from rigorous training and discipline instilled by Baron von Steuben, which helped unify and improve their combat effectiveness. This pivotal moment contributed to the eventual success of the American Revolutionary War.

What is a summary of Valley Forge?
The winter of 1777-78 was the low point of America 's struggle for independence. General Washington led his weary and demoralized army to Valley Forge a few miles away where they would camp for the winter and prepare for battle with the return of warm weather. An estimated 2,000 died. Under Washington's inspired leadership, conditions improved: more food, equipment and new recruits reached the camp lifting spirits. He read the troops the Crisis, by Thomas Paine, which also helped to inspire them. Most importantly, the training efforts of Baron von Steuben increased discipline and reinvigorated pride among the troops. What had been a ragtag and undisciplined collection of individuals became a cohesive fighting force. On June 19, 1778 the British abandoned Philadelphia and marched back to New York City. Washington led his Continental Army in pursuit. The subsequent battle at Monmouth, New Jersey ended in a draw. The War for Independence would last another five years, but a major victory of the spirit had been won during the winter at Valley Forge.

How is George Washington honest besides the cherry tree story?
Washington didn't chop down a cherry tree nor say that he couldn't tell a lie. This was put in a book about him by Rev. Reams a 100 years after he died. Actually, Washington wasn't that honest in his dealings and he was very political. He lied to Congress about the amount of food and supplies his troops had at Valley Forge. His men at Valley Forge had 3 pounds of meat a day for food and were fully equipped with shoes and coats. He thought that if Congress knew this they would cut money to the troops. The US Park Service has proven this to be true about Valley Forge despite the fallacy of the winter spent there.
