Valley Forge: A Short Story
Hey Tom! I didn't know you were still back on the West Coast. We are getting some snow right now! Right now, I'm waiting to hear back and do some phone interviews for parks in Boston and DC. I'm also waiting to hear back from two teaching interviews I did this past week for the possibility of working the rest of the school year. If I get one of those public school teaching opportunities, I'm going to try to come back for another enlistment at Valley Forge during the summer. Take care! -Russell.

    Valley Forge Dbq Essay

    George Washington had led the Continental Army through battle after battle, and only won two minor battles. While the British set up comfortable quarters in Philadelphia, George Washington had his men build uniform huts in Valley Forge, a few miles away. Sickness and disease ran rampant, and conditions were torturous. Your family is poor and your mother is ill. Since your nine-month enlistment is up, Washington's men are progressing from hut to hut to find out if soldiers will reenlist or quit. The question asked by this Mini-Q is, ‘Had you been a soldier at Valley Forge, would you have quit?’ I would have quit because the British army had so many advantages and illness was almost unavoidable.…

    Essay On Valley Forge Dbq

    Imagine dealing with cold, wet, and snowy weather, where you have been often hungry, as food was scarce, you didn't have warm clothing or even shoes as your shoes had worn out on the long march to the valley. Then having to build 16 by 14 huts with a door at the end, a stick and clay fireplace at the other, and no windows, now living in the cold, damp, and crowded log cabins allowed disease and sickness to spread quickly throughout the camp. In December a week before christmas, George Washington and his troops arrived in Valley Forge in the year of 1777, there are about 18 miles northwest of Valley Forge to Philadelphia.

    Valley Forge Turning Point

    No battle was fought at Valley Forge, yet it was the turning point in the Revolutionary War because it gave the army a backbone, made the soldiers stronger for upcoming battles, and helped them win alliance with the French. It was here that the Continental Army was hopelessly drenched. After the battles they had fought, Valley Forge gave them another reason to give up. They arrived bloody, beaten, and war-torn. What would you expect from an army who went through these difficulties and yet, life throws them the winter of Valley Forge. To the point of giving up, the army stood their ground and kept on fighting for their independence. Without the winter at Valley Forge, Britain would still have power over us.

    The Winchester-Personal Narrative

    The sun was right on the horizon line and Lucifer was outside looking right at it as he waited. It was a chill, breezy day and would only get colder and the night came. The clouds appeared to have a salmon or orange tint to them with how the sun was sitting and Lucifer had to admit, it looked rather nice outside. He would be taking his advantage of looking outside and enjoying this before he would get thrown in the cage again by whoever desired to reach him first and attempt to get him in there now. The Winchester did throw him in there before, but he managed to escape with the help of a few people. As far as he knew, the Winchesters had no idea that he was back out and the only one who did, was his soulmate; Alexandria. That was who he was…
