029 The American Revolution: Valley Forge

Valley Forge, Pennsylvania is remembered as a patriotic sacrifice
for the revolution. In fact, the iconography, as compelling as
it, blurs the facts. The encampment was not the coldest that the
Army ever endured, but it does allow us to examine three issues
of equal importance - the break down of supply, attacks on George
Washington's character, and the institutionalization of a
training regime under the watchful eye of Baron von Steuben.
