A
light
snow
fell
as
nearly
12,000
men,
under
the
command
of
General
George
Washington,
trudged
up
Gulph
Road
to
the
rolling
farmland
designated
only
days
before
as
"Winter
Quarters."
Ragged,
weary,
and
discouraged
soldiers
from
all
over
the
Colonies
arrived
at
Valley
Forge
on
December
19,
1777
to
begin
their
winter
encampment.
With limited tools, they began to erect crude log huts - which would be their home during the long, hard winter. While officers, as well as unlisted, moved into these primitive dwellings, higher ranking officers sought refuge and located their operations in some of the local farm houses.
This winter landscape captures the late evening sky as it comes to rest on one of these historic homes. Painted just as it appears today, this early 18th century home was settled and occupied by the Stephens family for generations. But during the infamous winter of 1777, it would serve General James Varnum as his "Winter Quarters."
