Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Valley Forge A large portrait of a plain, unassuming man was hanging on the wall of the old Camp School-house in Valley Forge park, when John U. Francis, Sr., publisher of this history, took charge. Father was born in Lower Providence township, just across the Schuylkill river from the Cradle of American Liberty. His great grandfather, Captain Arnold Francis, had commanded the Providence militia and had rendered conspicuous service under Washington at Valley Forge. In the family, Valley Forge was sacred ground and to the name of Washington was rendered a homage hardly due to mortal man. In keeping with the suffering endured, a resentment toward British arrogance was developed which even to-day causes the eye to Hash at the slightest semblance of the thing on our national horizon. A patriotism purer than father's we have never met. To tell the story of Valley Forge, than whom no man knows it better, and to provide for visitors to the park suitable souvenirs has been to him a labor of love. The publication of this history is a becoming climax of his labors. But year after year the portrait continued to hang on the wall. When at times we visited the Park and inquired, Whose is that portrait? practically no light could be given. "It was sent down from Headquarters." Some one knew better than father. In the summer of 1919 a group of visitors entered the School-house. One of the ladies pointed to the portrait and said: "That is a portrait of my grandfather, Henry Woodman. He wrote the first history of Valley Forge." The lady was Mrs. Alice Woodman Smith of Wycombe, Bucks county, Pa. She promised a letter giving particulars, and in due time one was received. Miss Mary S., daughter of Henry Woodman, a lady now of some eighty summers, was the embodiment of the first commandment with promise. She had had a small portrait of her father enlarged and had sent it to the Headquarters at Valley Forge. As already stated, from there it was sent down to the old Camp School-house.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Valley Forge: A Chronicle of American Heroism It melted its leaden house-badges, as pictured above, into bullets, and temporarily discontinued their use in order that the poorly equipped American soldiers might be better supplied with ammunition. Reared in the conservatism of Philadelphia, the progress of this historic company has been consistently forward. For one hundred and sixty-eight years it has promptly paid its fire losses; during the past quarter-century it has paid over one million dollars in dividends to its policy-holders; last year it wrote the largest amount of new insurance in its history; and today it stands the strongest active fire insurance company in the world.

I am now revisiting it, if a man's identity can be reckoned back through several generations. It is worth visiting under any circumstances and an increasing swarm of the sons and daughters of the American Revolution pays annual tribute to this new Mecca of American patriotism. Valley Forge is five miles from the King of Prussia; four and a half from Berwyn; seven from Norristown, eight from Bryn Mawr - all wagon roads. It is on the "Skookl" river, generally spelled Schuylkill, and the encampment extended one mile up the Valley Creek from which the iron forge took its name. It was the iron foundry in the Valley Creek. There was an early tavern called The King of Prussia, but it was in Germantown, and was the meeting place of commissioners from the British and American forces.

Book Synopsis The Winter that Won the War by : Phillip S. Greenwalt
Download or read book The Winter that Won the War written by Phillip S. Greenwalt and published by Savas Beatie. This book was released on 2021-07-21 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[Serves] as both a helpful concise history text and as a phenomenal field guide to modern Valley Forge and its surroundings.” —The Colonial Review An Army of skeletons appeared before our eyes naked, starved, sick and discouraged . . . Gouverneur Morris recorded these words in his report to the Continental Congress after a visit to the Continental Army encampment at Valley Forge as part of a fact-finding mission. Morris and his fellow congressmen arrived to conditions far worse than they had expected. After a campaigning season that saw the defeat at Brandywine, the loss of Philadelphia, the capital of the rebellious British North American colonies, and the reversal at Germantown, George Washington and his harried army marched into Valley Forge on December 19, 1777. What transpired in the next six months prior to the departure from the winter cantonment on June 19, 1778 was truly remarkable. A stoic Virginian, George Washington solidified his hold on the army and endured political intrigue; the quartermaster department was revived with new leadership from a former Rhode Island Quaker; and a German baron trained the army in the rudiments of being a soldier and military maneuvers. Valley Forge conjures up images of cold, desperation, and starvation. Yet Valley Forge also became the winter of transformation and improvement that set the Continental Army on the path to military victory and the fledgling nation on the path to independence. In The Winter that Won the War, historian Phillip S. Greenwalt takes the reader on campaign in the year 1777 and through the winter encampment, detailing the various changes that took place within Valley Forge that ultimately led to the success of the American cause. “Compelling. . . . wonderfully written. . . . Readers will come away better understanding the challenging duties, hardships, and stubbornness that transformed the army of these common soldiers of different ethnicities and immigrant groups, with African Americans and Native Americans among them, into a capable fighting force.” —The NYMAS Review

Sometimes I have ventured as far as the gap, and pooped into the broad open country, and caught the rumble of the trains down by the river. There is one of the world's highways, but the toll is great, and a crippled soldier with a scanty pen sion and a pittance from his school is wiser to keep to the ways he knows.

Download or read book Germantown written by Michael C. Harris and published by Savas Beatie. This book was released on 2020-07-21 with total page 506 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The award–winning author of Brandywine examines a pivotal but overlooked battle of the American Revolution’s Philadelphia Campaign. Today, Germantown is a busy Philadelphia neighborhood. On October 4, 1777, it was a small village on the outskirts of the colonial capital—and the site of one of the American Revolution’s largest battles. Now Michael C. Harris sheds new light on this important action with a captivating historical study. After defeating Washington’s rebel army in the Battle of Brandywine, General Sir William Howe took Philadelphia. But Washington soon returned, launching a surprise attack on the British garrison at Germantown. The recapture of the colonial capital seemed within Washington’s grasp until poor decisions by the American high command led to a clear British victory. With original archival research and a deep knowledge of the terrain, Harris merges the strategic, political, and tactical history of this complex operation into a single compelling account. Complete with original maps, illustrations, and modern photos, and told largely through the words of those who fought there, Germantown is a major contribution to American Revolutionary studies.
