It's the winter of 1777‚ and Washington's battered‚ demoralized army retreats from Philadelphia. Arriving at Valley Forge‚ they discover that their repeated requests for a stockpile of food‚ winter clothing‚ and building tools have been ignored by Congress. With no other options available‚ the men settle down for a season of agony in the bitter cold. Valley Forge is a tour-de-force about endurance‚ survival‚ transformation‚ and rebirth.
