Valley Forge
Winter of 1777 - 1778
We had just finished some battles and winter was setting in and George was getting worried about the troops so he had sought to find a place to stay for this harsh winter that was coming upon us. He had some luck and found us a place called Valley Forge. It was a camp for the soldiers to stay with little cabins everywhere. It wasn't much but it was something! We also met two new people a guy named Von Steuben and another guy named Marquis Lafayette, I hope they can help us win some battles!

The Battle of Saratoga
Fall of 1777
This was a long battle, so long it lasted 18 days and spread out 9 miles! But this time the French were fighting with us! We didn't start off with all this help but further on in the battle more forces came to help us witch led us to a victory! Witch is good for us, because we need some more wins.

Battle of Trenton and Prinston
December 26, 1776
Christmas was just the other day and we are at battle again! I guess war doesn't take a break. Just after George Washington crossed the Delaware river, he led the Continental Army into Trenton to face the Hessian soldiers. Even though the Americans lost a lot of men we won! And we celebrated one of the few victory's we've had!

Battle of Bunker Hill
June 17, 1775
Today was the Battle of Bunker Hill. I took place on a hill not named Bunker but named Breeds Hill. Why we don't call it the Battle of Breeds Hill I don't know but anyways, Boston had heard that the British were putting troops on all the hills so they could guard the city.

Battle of Fort Ticonderoga
May 10, 1775.
Today Benedict Arnold led a small army to Fort Ticonderoga so we could take it over. We took it over! And after we got a hold of it we shipped their canons and other armaments to Boston to help guard a fort. I would say it was a pretty successful day today!!
