Discover the winter that shaped a nation.
See how Valley Forge tested leadership, endurance, and the will to prevail.
This book chronicles the encampment of the Continental Army at Valley Forge during the harsh winter of 1777–78. It follows the soldiers’ hardships, the rations and clothing they lacked, and the careful planning that helped shelter and sustain them through a season of frost and hunger. It also uncovers the roles of key figures who shaped the day-to-day experience of war and statecraft in that defining moment.
Through vivid narrative and documentary detail, you’ll learn how Washington chose Valley Forge as a strategic site near Philadelphia, supervised hut-building, and supervised the shared hardships that bound the army. The text also recounts the Duché correspondence and a symbolic moment of prayer that tied faith, leadership, and national identity to the fight for independence.
Ideal for readers of American history, military history, and biographies of the founding era.
