I don’t remember seeing pot, bongos and iPods in the historical paintings of Valley Forge. I do remember seeing patriots dressed in rags whose skin was cracked and bleeding because of how cold it was. And they didn’t have mommies and daddies to run home to when it got too bad.
My daughter, as part of a project, found a letter written by a doctor at Vally Forge complaining that the men’s health was suffering due to a shortage of rum.
