A Chapter of Revolutionary History, Washington at Valley Forge: Calendar of the New England Mutual Life Insurance Company (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from A Chapter of Revolutionary History, Washington at Valley Forge: Calendar of the New England Mutual Life Insurance Company
This preface serves to introduce to the readers of this monograph an event or epoch in the war of the Revolution which has seldom met with the treatment it deserves at the hands of the historian. We hear occasionally of the times which tried men's souls; but when dangers are passed, how little do these brave words remain in our minds, how soon they are forgotten! And yet no man ever lived who saw more of these days than Washington. What more fearful epoch was there in the history of the nation than that of Valley Forge, when the great leader was surrounded, not only by conspiracy and treason, but when his little army lay starving and freezing and poorly clad - aye, many of them barefooted in one of the most pitiless winters of the war, that of 1777 - 78.
