Book
A cold, bleak hill / Ron Carter.
Campaigning along the eastern seaboard, General George Washington and his poorly equipped and undisciplined Continental Army are pitted against General William Howe and his superbly trained and better provisioned British forces. The inspired Americans make a good showing at the battles of Brandywine Creek and Germantown, but in the end they absorb two disappointing defeats. The atrocities suffered by the Americans in the 'Paoli Massacre' and the political machinations of the ambitious American officers Horatio Gates and Thomas Conway set the stage for the darkest hour of the entire Revolution--the heartbreaking story of Valley Forge.-- Publisher description.
