Abstract
Description
In 1780 was a difficult winter. The troops wintering there had not been paid in over a year, despite many requests and pleas to the Second Continental Congress. Over one thousand soldiers deserted. The issues came to a head in late December when certain Pennsylvania soldiers organized a mutiny. They planned to march on Philadelphia to demand their pay. In preparation for that march the mutineers spent several days foraging through the countryside and stealing any horses they found.
