December 19, 1777–George Washington and the Continental Army March Out of Rebel Hill and Gulph Mills and on to Valley Forge; My Closing Thoughts Becoming Valley Forge

On December 19, 1777, General George Washington and the Continental Army marched out of my beloved Rebel Hill and Gulph Mills, down Gulph Road, past the Hanging Rock, and on to Valley Forge. Listen to what many others said about that day, Washington’s three final letters from “the Gulf,” and my closing thoughts about the six days encampment, growing up on Rebel Hill, and my novel, Becoming Valley Forge.

As always, you can read about all six days in my mini-ebook, Six Days in December: General George Washington’s and the Continental Army’s Encampment on Rebel HIll:  December 13 - 19, 1777; or in my article, Valley Forge’s Threshold in the Journal of the American Revolution (https://allthingsliberty.com/2019/11/valley-forges-threshold-the-encampment-at-gulph-mills/).  And, you can read all about the Philadelphia Campaign in my novel, Becoming Valley Forge, in print or ebook at Amazon.

I hope you enjoyed thsee podcasts on the six days encampment on Rebel Hill and Gulph Mills. Check back regularly for other podcasts on important days or matters during the Philadelphia Campaign.
