dec 19, 1777 - Valley Forge
Description:
Valley Forge in Pennsylvania was the site of the Continental Army's winter encampment from December 1777 to June 1778, during the American Revolutionary War. Under the command of General George Washington, the troops endured severe hardships due to lack of supplies and extreme cold, but the period was crucial for training and discipline, largely attributed to the efforts of Baron von Steuben, a Prussian military officer.Added to timeline:
