Valley+Forge+-+Caitie+D.



This photo is an image of George Washington, Marquis de Lafayette, and many of the troops that were forced to survive the winter of 1777 to 1778 at a camp known as Valley Forge. The men here struggled to survive the harsh conditions while hoping that an attack was not on the horizon. In the image you can see Washington and Lafayette strategizing as well as men huddled around a fire cooking some of the food suplies they had. You can also see the main shelters of the camp in the background as well as a few men who appear to be keeping watch and guarding some of their supplies. There is also a man who appears to be collecting tree limbs for either a fire or to contribute to the shelters. This image is a copy of an evgraving done by H.B. Hall after Alonzo Chappel.
