Washington's Continentals suffer a lack of food, clothing and shelter as it struggles to get through the winter at Valley Forge. At the same time, it must contest a British move into Darby in search of forage. Captain "light horse Harry" Lee distinguishes himself during this time. Americans also capture a British ship on the Delaware river. Washington fights with Congress to get what he needs to maintain and train his army.Visit my site at https://blog.AmRevPodcast.com for more text, pictures, maps, and sources on this topic.Book Recommendation of the Week: Washington's Secret War: The Hidden History of Valley Forge, by Thomas Fleming.Online Recommendation of the Week: The History of Valley Forge, by Henry Woodman: https://archive.org/details/historyofvalleyf00woodFollow the podcast on Twitter @AmRevPodcastJoin the Facebook group, American Revolution Podcast: https://www.facebook.com/groups/132651894048271Join the podcast mail list: https://mailchi.mp/d3445a9cd244/american-revolution-podcast-by-michael-troyLearn more about your ad choices.
