" It was bitterly cold, and for a month the men were at work, making ready for the winter. But in what sort of condition were the men them- selves when they began this work? Here is a picture of one of those men on his way to Valley Forge : " His bare feet peep through his worn- out shoes, his legs nearly naked from the tattered remains of an only pair of stockings, his breeches not enough to cover his nakedness, his shirt hang- ing in strings, his hair disheveled, his face wan AT VALLEY FORGE.... 173 and thin, his look hungry, his whole appearance that of a man forsaken and neglected. " And the snow was falling ! This was one of the privates. The officers were scarcely better off. One was wrapped " in a sort of dressing-gown made of an old blanket or woolen bed-cover. " The uniforms were torn and ragged ; the guns were rusty ; a few only had bayonets ; the soldiers carried their powder in tin boxes and cow-horns. To explain why this army was so poor and for- lorn would be to tell a long story.
