Morristown 1779: The Winter That Nearly Ended the Revolution

from History Shorts

The winter of 1779–1780 was the coldest the American colonies had seen in generations, and for George Washington and the Continental Army, it was a season of hunger, mutiny, and near collapse. Encamped in Morristown, Washington's soldiers faced brutal temperatures, empty supply wagons, unpaid wages, and a civilian population stretched to its limits.   DON'T FORGET TO SUBSCRIBE AND LEAVE A RATING OR A REVIEW!
