10. Winter at Valley Forge
After unsuccessfully engaging the British in a battle to prevent the capture of
Philadelphia, Washington led his twelve thousand Continental soldiers into
winter quarters at Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. Although no military
engagements were fought at Valley Forge, during the winter of , the
patriot soldiers waged an epic battle against deprivation, disease, and
discouragement. Washington’s ill-fed, ill-equipped army, exhausted from long
marches, worked in six-inch-deep snow to build log huts and defenses.
Undernourished, inadequately clothed, and living in crowded, damp quarters,
the men fell sick, with disease killing as many as 2,000. Although Washington
petitioned Congress for relief, the fledgling treasury was unable to provide it.
Nevertheless, Washington, assisted by Prussian General von Steuben,
created an effective, well-trained fighting force. By spring, the army had been
transformed in its crucible of suffering. Buoyed by new supplies and troops
and the French guarantee of military aid, the Continental army emerged
strong, well-disciplined, and confident.
