What was it like for Gen. George Washington's army during the winter of 1778 around Valley Forge? We've heard many of the stories, and plenty of myths, surrounding that fateful winter. But did you know that there was a large foraging expedition that ensured the army would survive? On this episode, I ask Ricardo Herrera to talk with us about how Washington's army got to Valley Forge, what they ate in the field, and what they had to do to survive as far as subsistence. If you're into the history of the Revolutionary War, you'll definitely want to pick up his book, "Feeding Washington's Army: Surviving the Valley Forge Winter of 1778."
