About this listen
The winter of 1777-1778 wasn't just regular suffering for Revolutionary soldiers, it was a complete disaster marked by disease, hunger, and the elements. CC and Kitty discuss how the Continental Army survived, and how discipline and training helped turn a failing force into one that could keep fighting.
