Save Our History. Valley Forge

Description

Of all places associated with the Revolutionary War, perhaps none is more revered than Valley Forge, the place where the poorly fed and ill-equipped Continental Army faced its darkest hour and its greatest challenge. And yet no history-changing battle was fought there. It was at Valley Forge that, during the winter of 1777-78, thousands of soldiers died of malnutrition, exposure, and disease - and a new army was born. This program examines archaeological excavations and building preservation efforts at Valley Forge, a destination for millions of sightseers every year.
