Forge. This item is unavailable.Forge

In the winter of 1777, General George Washington encamped his Continental Army at Valley Forge-a glacial stretch of Pennsylvania only miles from British-occupied Philadelphia. For six months, thousands endured starvation, disease, and death in conditions that tested the very soul of the Revolution. Among the soldiers was Phineas: the son of a New York blacksmith, sustained by the bonds of friendship and a stubborn will to survive.

Forge follows Phineas and his companions across the defining campaigns of the American War of Independence-the Battles of Barren Hill, Monmouth, Rhode Island, Chesapeake Bay, and Yorktown-while weaving in the perspectives of the men shaping history around them: George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, and the Marquis de Lafayette, among others.

Grounded in historical accuracy and driven by deeply human drama, Forge is both an intimate portrait of survival and a chronicle of a nation earning its freedom- a celebration 250 years in the making.
