| CONTENT DESCRIPTION | |||
| Abstract | The Valley Forge Orderly Book contains records of General, Divisional, and Brigade orders received under the command of George Weedon between August 25, 1777 and May 7, 1778. Evocative of the hardships faced by the Continental Army during the bitter winter of 1777-1778, the orderly book records orders relating to duties, disciplinary matters, promotions, and desertions. The orderly book also includes a plan of battle for the Battle of Germantown, 1777, and plans for the troops at Mount Holly (November 1777) and what appears to be Whitemarsh (November 1777). It also includes several illustrations of troop formations and an insert of an 1897 Valley Forge map. | ||
