Valley Forge, the 1777-1778 winter encampment of Washington's Continental Army, is the stuff of legend and lore. Tales of brutal temperatures, bare footed soldiers and near starvation are what come to mind when recollecting middle school American History courses. Rick Herrera set out to understand the strategic importance of Valley Forge and the logistics challenges that Washington and his staff overcame. He captures many lessons still applicable today in his new book "Feeding Washington’s Army: Surviving the Valley Forge Winter of 1778", and he's in the studio with podcast editor Ron Granieri to discuss it.
