Dr. Bailey April 17, y Blood on the Forge Book Review “Steel is born in the flames and sent out to live and grow old.  It comes back to the flames and has a new birth.  But no one man could calculate its beginning or end.  It would end when the earth ended.  It seemed deathless.” (302) Blood on the Forge, by William Attaway, illustrates one of the most important historical event in United States history, The Great Migration. Attaway sets Blood on the Forge in the midst of the Steel Valley in

The stench of sweat, vomit, feces, and blood was almost to much to bear. Although times were difficult at Valley Forge, I would have stayed as a soldier because I believed George Washington was a amazing leader, most of the fellow soldiers didn't lose their spirit, and I would be willing to die for freedom. To begin, I would have stayed because George Washington was on our side and he is a natural born leader. In Document B it showed George Washington taking his soldiers side, which means that he

In December 1777 to 1778, George Washington Sent all his soldiers to Valley Forge. Valley Forge is a winter camp for all of his soldiers to stay. It was very hard to live there and the conditions were bad they did not have much food and the food they did have was very bad and nasty. Would I have quit and went home, instead of staying with the army? I would not have quit Valley Forge because there were a lot of sick people but not many people died, It was very hard to live there but brave soldiers

Starvation, disease, and a harsh winter were all factors that the soldiers at Valley Forge felt. The soldiers at Valley Forge have a harsh life they live in a wooden hut in which twelve men sleep and there is not one single bed in the hut, they’re no windows or holes just one door and smoke gets in their and gives them ventilation. The french will start to join you in the war and most soldiers will survive. Would have you reinstated to stay in his army ? I’m going to renlist because we are not the

dead companions, muddy grounds, and diseases spreading. Sweat started to trickle down his forehead and memories of battles swept through his mind as he became restless once more, unable to sleep. In the year of 1777, about 18,000 men stayed at Valley Forge during the ceaseless winter. Many men were waiting for independence from Britain as they trained and suffered in the dirty camps. They anticipated for a final battle which was yet to come. George Washington, as their commander saw his men go through

Have you ever heard of Valley Forge? Well , through the horrific events of Valley Forge , would you rather quit or stay? The Continental Army, has had several successes such as, Trenton and Princeton. They have gone through struggles depending on the length of their enlistment. Most were enlisted for 9 months. If I was a soldier I would have quit because I would not want to die from a illness, have poor food, lodging , and weather, and I would not want to suffer from the smoke in my hut.

Valley Forge, a torture camp, is filled with dying soldiers and many are ill and starving to death even myself. This camp was a torture to us, the soldiers of George Washington’s army. Many soldiers died just of being sick at Valley Forge. Half the problem is that the shelters for the soldier were 16’ by 14’. There is barely any food this is causing fatigue for all the soldiers. If I even get food it is nasty. I hate it here just all I can focus about every day is staying alive. I have made the decision

The strength of African Americans over the years is outstanding, but I will it ever be good enough. From discrimination, starvation, Jim Crow, the lack of the right to vote, and job deprivation, came The Great Migration. The Great Migration is one of the most historical periods in America. People,

Soldiers walk through the snow, nearly barefoot, leaving bloody footprints behind. This is a picture of the camp at Valley Forge. It was the week before Christmas, 1777, and George Washington’s soldiers were miserable. The bleak winter provided many problems for the soldiers. Outside, it was bitterly cold, but inside the huts that served as shelter, poor ventilation systems led to smoke nearly choking people. In this situation, would you have quit the army, left and no longer participated in the
