In this major new history of the Continental Army's Grand Forage of
1778, award-winning military historian Ricardo A. Herrera uncovers
what daily life was like for soldiers during the darkest and
coldest days of the American Revolution: the Valley Forge winter.
Here, the army launched its largest and riskiest operation-not a
bloody battle against British forces but a campaign to feed itself
and prevent starvation or dispersal during the long encampment.
Herrera brings to light the army's herculean efforts to feed
itself, support local and Continental governments, and challenge
the British Army. Highlighting the missteps and triumphs of both
General George Washington and his officers as well as ordinary
soldiers, sailors, and militiamen, Feeding Washington's Army moves
far beyond oft-told, heroic, and mythical tales of Valley Forge and
digs deeply into its daily reality, revealing how close the
Continental Army came to succumbing to starvation and how strong
and resourceful its soldiers and leaders actually were.
