Abstract
Description
Soldiers bivouacked for the winter here on October 17, 1779 until January 1780, enduring some of the harshest weather of the war.
A letter was found in which a soldier wrote : "Plenty of cold and snow Sam, if this cold continues there won't be one of us left to live in these damned log huts. Why did General Washington pick such a place for our winter encampment".
