Nice video, guys. But you did get a couple of things wrong… 1. The park is a National Historical Park; not a Military Park! 2. Smallpox was NOT a problem at Valley Forge! That is because Washington had the entire army inoculated. This was leading edge medical technology at the time. Other diseases were a problem, however.
In reality there was NO Deprivation ! ARCHIOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION HAS LED TO THE REALIZATION THAT THE COLONIAL ARMY WERE LIVING FAT AS HOGS !!!! The genius of GENERAL WASHINGTON WAS THAT , TO TACTFULLY PORTRAY, TO THE PENNY PINCHING POLITICAL ENTITIES OF THE CONTINENTAL CONGRESS THAT THE ARMY WAS SUFFERING AND NEGLECTED! THIS WAS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THE ENDS JUSTIFIES THE MEANS!!!
Absolutely love Valley Forge. I always visit when I go back home.
Loved valley forge national park used to ride my bike there all the time.
Me too!
Thanks guys- been there once and it was a quick tour- supposedly had 3 direct line ancestors there in 1777
You know the food and supplies like this continue to the CW. It is crazy, how they did not think as one, they thought as colonies or states.
Great video full of info💜 I love this park and it’s in my backyard
Underrated video, appreciate it! Gave me a lot of info that I didn't know.
Glad it was helpful!

The “security force” were called “George Washington’s life guards- Benjamin eaton- direct ancestor
Should have done this in Continental Army uniform
Officer's huts the larger ones slept 8, the smaller ones, for the soldiers slept 12
Does anyone know when they added the redoubt replicas to valley forge? I was there a looong time ago and I can't remember them being there.
