In the winter of 1777, General George Washington and the Continental Army set their sights on a little village in southeastern Pennsylvania called Valley Forge. The hardships they faced there would go down in history, but what drove them to this desperate situation? Step beyond the story of what happened at Valley Forge to consider why political, economic, and strategic factors influenced the army’s decision, and the impact of the encampment on that location.
