Valley Forge

Valley Forge is the name of a place in Pennsylvania. It's famous for being the site of one of the encampments during the Revolutionary War. It doesn't really "mean" anything, but it pretty obviously references both a valley and a forge.

He slept in there

B. No, because the MTF is required to respond to George in writing, providing an accounting of certain disclosures going back 6 years from the date of the request

Valley Forge was a military camp in Pennsylvania.

Many women were spies for the patriots. One method they used to let them know they had information was to hang the laundry with certain colors or patterns. There were a few who dressed as men and fought. Some went to war with their husbands. Martha Washington was at Valley Forge with her husband and so were other officers wives. Some acted as nurses and many stayed home to run the farm or business while their husbands fought.

Valley Forge, located in Pennsylvania, was the site of the Continental Army's winter encampment during the winter of 1777-1778 during the American Revolutionary War. Under the command of General George Washington, the army faced severe hardships, including food shortages, harsh weather, and inadequate shelter. Despite these challenges, the encampment became a turning point for the Continental Army, as they emerged better trained and more unified, largely due to the efforts of military leaders like Baron von Steuben. Valley Forge is now remembered as a symbol of perseverance and resilience in the fight for American independence.

They lacked of food, shelter, shoes, and clothes

Their training at Valley Forge improved their discipline under fire.

Despite the story about the winter at Forge the men camped there were very well off. National park historians have proven the story we think we know is wrong. The men were well fed, warm, and had clothing. Washington wrote to Congress telling them they needed items because he knew if he told them they were doing well they would cut funding, so he spun a story to keep the money flowing. Martha Washington and other officer wives spent time with their husbands at Valley Forge. Had it been as bad as the story goes they wouldn't have been there. Yes, it was very cold. In fact, there was a mini ice age going on and one of the coldest winters in centuries. The biggest risk was having nothing to do.

There wasn't a battle, but the winter camp of Washington and his troops.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.

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.

it can't

It showed Washington was able as he had to deal with the problems of weather, clothing, starvation, training, and battle strategy.

Yes, but they had no incentive to do something. Some were Quakers who refused to aid soldiers because they didn't believe in fighting. Others were loyalists. There were also merchants trying to make a living and the British were paying them for services. And those who wanted to help were probably disuaded by the British soldiers with guns scattered across the city.

was very harsh something no human should have to endure
