Cruel Winter

1777: General George Washington (1732 - 1799) and his ragged shoeless army of 12,000 make camp at Valley Forge in Pennsylvania during the winter of 1777 - 1778, at a low point of the American War of Independence. To the left stand the Committee of Congress and Baron Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben (1730 - 1794), a German officer who trained the American army in the use of bayonets and organised fighting.
