At Valley Forge, the Continental Army faced severe hardships during the winter of 1777-1778. Soldiers endured extreme cold, inadequate shelter, and a lack of proper clothing, often suffering from exposure. Food shortages led to malnutrition and disease, contributing to high rates of illness and death. Despite these challenges, the army emerged stronger and more unified, thanks in part to the training and discipline provided by figures like Baron von Steuben.
