Events at Valley Forge transformed the Continental Army—and the Battle of Monmouth transformed public opinion of what that army could do. This program uses archaeological findings at Valley Forge and Monmouth Battlefield as well as primary source and scholarly documents to reveal how General Washington and his troops achieved the seemingly impossible.
