Abstract
Description
The area of Morristown National Historical Park known as Jockey Hollow was the setting for the Continental Army�s winter encampment from December 1779 through June 1780. Over 13,000 men built 1,000 14�x16? log huts designed to house 12 soldiers each. By the end of construction, the soldiers had amassed what would temporarily be one of the ten largest settlements in the colonies. Though the winter conditions in Jockey Hollow were much more severe than those experienced at Valley Forge nearly two years before, only 100 men died throughout this period due to improvements in camp design and hygiene practices.
