Those present at the winter at Valley Forge in 1777-1778 included a veritable “who’s who” of future American political leadership, such as George Washington, Henry Knox, and Alexander Hamilton. Prominent names are usually associated with this critical transition period, and rightfully so…but there were women who accompanied the army to this camp, and Indigenous allies also arrived as winter turned into spring to help the Continental Army with their war effort. These last two categories of individuals are the ones we shall focus on in this episode of History: Beyond the Textbook: Martha Washington, the Oneidas, and the Winter at Valley Forge.
