1777-1778 Valley Forge Winter (19 дек 1777 г. – 19 июн 1778 г.)

Описание:

A harsh winter set in at the encampment of Valley Forge, where Washington's main troops were stationed. A couple thousand died from disease, while there was much starvation, lack of pay, and some mutiny. During the winter, a Prussian military expert named Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben hired by Ben Franklin showed up and gave the troops a proper European military training, allowing the troops to take on the British Army more effectively by the end of the winter.
