Why read it?
1 author picked Valley Forge as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
It is a gripping story set in the winter of 1777, when the American Army, under General George Washington, had camped in the cold plateau of Valley Forge. No supplies and stuck 'out there,' the Army had to battle the freezing temperatures and themselves to survive. Told plainly in the first person narrative, it flows well with prose and bits of poetry. A likable book, set in a sinister time.
From Sherrie's list on fiction connected to the American Revolution.
