HISTORY:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valley_Forge
Valley Forge in Pennsylvania was the site of the military camp of the American
Continental Army over the winter of 1777–1778 during the American Revolutionary War. It is
approximately 20 miles northwest of Philadelphia. Starvation, disease, and exposure killed
nearly 2,500 American soldiers by the end of February 1778.
