The cold temperatures and the lack of food, shelter, shoes and other adequate clothing caused frostbite, illness, and just overall lack of morale. Men were wounded and weary from battle and long marches and they did not have the adequate supplies to get healthy.

The life in Valley Forge was hard. There were cold winters. Washington and his troops endured a winter of terrible suffering, lacking decent food, clothing and shelter. Washington's greatest challenge was keeping the continental army together.

It wasn't all war. Many went home to take care of the family farm. There were so many they were called "sunshine patriots". The colonies were 95% farmers. In Valley Forge there is a fable about the men starving, not having shoes, and in the cold. This is not true. Federal park historians have found that they were well fed, clothed, and in warm huts. The officer wives joined their husbands. Washington in his letters to Congress couldn't admit this because he knew they would cut funds. So, he spun a story. The 10,000 man army was supplied each month with a million pounds of flour, a million pounds of meat and fish. Each man was allotted more than 3 pounds of flour, meat, and fish per day.

== == * Because well meaning humans fooled around with the balance of nature. Just like Yellow Stone National park there was an over abundance of wolves, so instead of relocating packs of wolves they eliminated so many that the deer were too plentiful and were destroying the ash trees which in turn caused marshland. Also these deer would go to the river and where there was once reeds along the riverbed there was nothing. Forestry found old photos of what Yellowstone looked like in past decades and came to the realization that once again humans had to go "oops" and introduced more wolves back into the park.

Pennsylvania encampment occupied by the American army from December 1777 to June 1778. The winter was particularly harsh, and the army was short on food, clothing, and supplies. But they hung on. The leadership of Commander-in-Chief George Washington and Baron von Steuben, the Prussian drill sergeant, kept the soldiers occupied and made them better, tougher soldiers in the end. In June 19, 1778, the army set out for New Jersey, where they fought the British to a stand-still just nine days later, at the Battle of Monmouth. Among the soldiers who were encamped with Washington at Valley Forge were Generals Nathanael Greene and Benedict Arnold; Alexander Hamilton, Washington's personal aide; the Marquis de Lafayette; and a man named John Marshall, who would go on to become the first famous Chief Justice of the United States. Valley Forge was not a battle.
