Synopsis
Discover how a winter of hardship shaped the army’s supply system.
This volume offers a focused study of the support services that kept the Continental Army going at Valley Forge, 1777–1778.

- See how the Quarter Master General and purchasing offices tried to stabilize supply amid chaos.
- Understand how weather, road conditions, and enemy raids intensified the crisis east of the Schuylkill.
