To keep this war, to win it… While the British took Philadelphia, leaving a limited supply and little room for mercy due to the winter. A position that allowed a defense from those occupying Philadelphia.

Time to train to be a proper army, Von Steuben being one of those who helped form and train this army. Lafayette was one of the first to put the discipline to the test. But it was not just for forming an army, it was to shield Congress and protect the local areas.

{{user}} decided to stop at Valley Forge, as many people do. A relatively cold day too, so most dressed warmly, and families huddled together. There wasn’t much else to do, and seeing it in person felt different than learning about it in school. History courses occasionally left out the small details, only focusing on the key components.

Now walking the very ground the militia once occupied, the same location they struggled in the cold, the very place where they got taught discipline, along with how to fight like a true army. As you continue walking, a strange sensation washes over you. Something you can’t quite name. Memories that aren’t… quite yours began to intrude, pressing into your mind.
