Bloody Footprints: How Valley Forge Saved a Revolution
<p>The Declaration was signed in July. This is what almost killed it in December.</p><p>As we count down to America's 250th anniversary, we open the road to independence not with fireworks, but with frostbite. In the winter of 1777–78, George Washington's Continental Army stumbled into a Pennsylvania valley starving, freezing, and barely an army at all. Six months later, they marched out transformed. This episode digs into Bob Drury and Tom Clavin's Valley Forge to ask what it really took to keep the Revolution alive when quitting would have been so much easier than staying.</p><p>Part one of our weekly series leading up to July 4th, 2026. Next week: Paul Revere's ride.</p><p>Keep hitting history.</p>
