Valley Forge
THis was an army camp in the revoulutionary war the soldiers including gearge washington stayed there in the winter of 1777 to 1778. THey selected this valley in pennsylvania because it was close enough to keep the british out of pennsyvania and far enough away so there wouldnt be any suprise attacks on the army.
THe temperture was perfect for diesies to keep hanging around they were able to make a couple good wooden huts but the winter was miserable they had tents but they didnt help the cold. THe army usually got meat nad bread but it got so bad some days all there was to eat was fire cake which is a combnation of flour and water.
They did not have the clothing for the winter many men didnt have shoes and all there was were tattered blankets. IT got so bad at one point 4,000 men were unfit for duty. THey made it through the winter and started training and they became a real army.
I think the winter would be worse then fighting the british. They suffered for months with dieses and cold and werent feed well. most other armies would have thrown in the towel.
