The story we know about valley forge is more legend than fact. We have been told the men were cold, hungry and shoeless. Not true.The park service reports that they had plenty of food, were in warm huts, and they did have shoes. The conditions were so good that Mrs. Washington and other officer wives stayed there with their husbands. One reason that we have been told about bad conditions is because when Washington wrote to Congress he stated that things were not very good. He did this because if he reported they were warm and well fed that Congress would cut funding, so he "spun" the facts. Washington was a very smart commander and politician and understood his position was always one where Congress could be difficult to deal with.

This question can't be answered. The essay is not given.

There were no children at Valley Forge. Some of the wives were there, including Mrs. Washington, but no children.

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.
