Washington's+Prayer+-+Lauren+S.



This is an image of General George Washington praying under some trees at Valley Forge. It is the winter of 1777-78. Everyone has fires going in their homes. The trees are located near the military camp where Washington and his army are staying. There are soldiers that appear to be cleaning their guns before they set out the next day. To the left of Washington in the picture there is a person peaking out of the bushes, spying on Washington. This photo is a copy of an engraving by John C. McRae after Henry Brueckner, published 1866.
