Valley Forge Valley Forge

rdfs:comment

Valley Forge is the name of spaceships in multiple works of science fiction. Valley Forge is an area of Pennsylvania. During the American Revolutionary War, George Washington and his Continental Army spent the winter of late 1777 and early 1778 there. It proved to be the turning point of the war against Great Britain, rejuvenating the Continental Army which was close to collapse before and during the sixth month period. The United Federation of Planets has named many starships after the encampment, such as the Constitution class NCC-1732, the Excelsior class NCC-43305 and an Iwo Jima class ship. (DS9 episode: "Tears of the Prophets", TNG video game: Armada II) The Continental Congress chose Valley Forge as the army's winter camp to act as a buffer between their location in York and the British Army in Philadelphia. However, Commander Washington felt it would have been better to supply the army if they camped at a small town. With winter almost setting in, and the prospects for campaigning greatly diminishing, General George Washington sought quarters for his men. Washington and his troops had fought what was to be the last major engagement of 1777 at the Battle of White Marsh (or Edge Hill) in early December. He devised to pull his troops from their present encampment in the White Marsh area (now Fort Washington State Park) and move to a more secure location for the coming winter.

With winter almost setting in, and the prospects for campaigning greatly diminishing, General George Washington sought quarters for his men. Washington and his troops had fought what was to be the last major engagement of 1777 at the Battle of White Marsh (or Edge Hill) in early December. He devised to pull his troops from their present encampment in the White Marsh area (now Fort Washington State Park) and move to a more secure location for the coming winter. Valley Forge is an area of Pennsylvania. During the American Revolutionary War, George Washington and his Continental Army spent the winter of late 1777 and early 1778 there. It proved to be the turning point of the war against Great Britain, rejuvenating the Continental Army which was close to collapse before and during the sixth month period. The United Federation of Planets has named many starships after the encampment, such as the Constitution class NCC-1732, the Excelsior class NCC-43305 and an Iwo Jima class ship. (DS9 episode: "Tears of the Prophets", TNG video game: Armada II) In early 2374, three months into the Dominion War, Captain Benjamin Sisko described the Federation and the Klingon Empire's situation as being as grim as that of Valley Forge. (DS9 novelization: Call to Arms...) Valley Forge is the name of spaceships in multiple works of science fiction. The Continental Congress chose Valley Forge as the army's winter camp to act as a buffer between their location in York and the British Army in Philadelphia. However, Commander Washington felt it would have been better to supply the army if they camped at a small town. There was initially no housing for the troops, while a third of soldiers did not have shoes. Mild temperatures led to damp conditions, spreading diseases and killing thousands of Patriots. The better-equipped soldiers took patrols while the others built log cabins. Washington and his twenty-five commanding officers lived in tents for a week before moving into Isaac Potts House. Although the house was rather cramped, Washington still felt uncomfortable living in better conditions than his men. As Washington expected, it became difficult to supply the camp. He informed the Assassin Connor of missing supplies and that the traitor Benjamin Church had disappeared after being released from prison, surmising the two events were connected. Connor and his father Haytham Kenway retrieved the stolen supplies all the way from Martinique. In the meantime, Nathanael Greene found supplies and organized the rationing of food. Conditions gradually improved. The Marquis de Lafayette and Baron Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben drilled the troops in military tactics, and in basic camp layout and sanitation, preventing the spead of disease; Casimir Pulaski reorganized the cavalry. The army was prepared by summer when Connor and Haytham informed them of British movement from Philadelphia to New York. As a result of these preparations, they emerged victorious at the Battle of Monmouth, despite Charles Lee's attempts to sabotage the plan of battle and make Washington appear foolish.
