Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "An Army of skeletons appeared before our eyes naked, starved, sick and discouraged." Gouverneur Morris recorded these words in his report to the Continental Congress after a visit to the Continental Army encampment at Valley Forge. Sent as part of a fact-finding mission, Morris and his fellow congressmen arrived to conditions far worse than they had initially expected. After a campaigning season that saw the defeat at Brandywine, the loss of Philadelphia, the capital of the rebellious British North American colonies, and the reversal at Germantown, George Washington and his harried army marched into Valley Forge on December 19, 1777. What transpired in the next six months prior to the departure from the winter cantonment on June 19, 1778 was truly remarkable. The stoic Virginian, George Washington solidified his hold on the army and endured political intrigue, the quartermaster department was revived with new leadership from a former Rhode Island Quaker, and a German baron trained the army in the rudiments of being a soldier and military maneuvers. Valley Forge conjures up images of cold, desperation, and starvation. Yet Valley Forge also became the winter of transformation and improvement that set the Continental Army on the path to military victory and the fledgling nation on the path to independence. In The Winter that Won the War: The Winter Encampment at Valley Forge, 1777-1778, historian Phillip S. Greenwalt takes the reader on campaign in the year 1777 and through the winter encampment, detailing the various changes that took place within Valley Forge that ultimately led to the success of the American cause. Walk with the author through 1777 and into 1778 and see how these months truly were the winter that won the war.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Lees army is really whipped, Federal commander Ulysses S. Grant believed.May 1864 had witnessed near-constant combat between his Army of the Potomac and the Confederate Army of Northern Virginia. Grant, unlike his predecessors, had not relented in his pounding of the Confederates. The armies clashed in the Wilderness and at Spotsylvania Courthouse and along the North Anna River. Whenever combat failed to break the Confederates, Grant resorted to maneuver.I propose to fight it out along this line if it takes all summer, Grant vowedand it had.Casualties mounted on both sidesbut Grant kept coming. Although the great, decisive assault had eluded him, he continued to punish Lees army. The blows his army landed were nothing like the Confederates had experienced before. The constant marching and fighting had reduced Robert E. Lees once-vaunted army into a bedraggled husk of its former glory.In Grants mind, he had worn his foes down and now prepared to deliver the deathblow.Turning Lees flank once more, he hoped to fight the final, decisive battle of the war in the area bordering the Pamunkey and Chickahominy rivers, less than fifteen miles from the outskirts of the Confederate capital of Richmond.I may be mistaken, but I feel that our success over Lees army is already assured, Grant confided to Washington.The stakes had grown enormous. Grants staggering casualty lists had driven Northern morale to his lowest point of the war. Would Lees men hold on to defend their besieged capitaland, in doing so, prolong the war until the North will collapsed entirely? Or would another round of hard fighting finally be enough to crush Lees army? Could Grant push through and end the war?Grant would find his answers around a small Virginia crossroads called Cold Harborand he would always regret the results.Historians Daniel T.
