December 1777. In the streets of Philadelphia, a tavern master holds a lantern as he directs the unloading of kegs from a horse-drawn wagon. British soldiers stroll through the streets... The British had a better winter ahead than did the Americans. This program provides a historically accurate account of the fateful events that transpired at Valley Forge—where the battle was for survival, and men died, but not in combat. Dramatic reenactments place men and women in the daily activities at Valley Forge, as an untrained band of rebels is transformed into an army that eventually defeats the British Crown. (23 minutes)
