In this special bonus episode of History in Decades, Jim Rand turns to the winter of 1777–1778 at Valley Forge. More than two thousand soldiers died from disease and exposure. Yet the army that emerged in the spring was stronger, more disciplined, and more confident. This is a story about suffering, quiet faith, the arrival of Baron von Steuben, and the daily endurance of ordinary men who chose to stay when leaving would have been easier.
