Summary

The odds were against George Washington as he marched his army toward an old ironwork known as "Valley Forge." The Continental army had just been defeated in two important battles in the Revolutionary War. Now the poorly trained and equipped soldiers faced winter. At Valley Forge the men would have to build their own quarters, to feed and clothe them. Yet over the freezing winter of 1777-78, the Continental army transformed itself from a ragtag outfit into a professional army. Under such harsh conditions, how was this possible? "Valley Forge" tells how inspiration, determination, and a genius for organization enabled Washington, his talented staff, and his courageous soldiers to overcome extreme hardships and remake the army. Richard Ammon's informative text and Bill Farnsworth's remarkable oil paintings offer a fascinating account of this turning point in the Revolutionary War.
