by:summer

The Continental soldiers were poorly trained and they stayed in a town called Valley Forge, in Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia. They were there in 1777-1778, there general leader was George Washington, he was inspiring, thoughtful and a great patriot. The soldiers were very cold, they didn't have any food, water and barely any clothes. They had to wrap there feet in old rags. Valley Forge is the most forbidden place in the winter because of how cold it is. More than 2,500 men died of sickness because of the weather. A Lot of them got terrible frostbites. They came to Valley Forge after fighting the battle at Brandy wire. They stayed in Valley Forge to stay apart from British.
