Artist's Description
Valley Forge - National Memorial Arch - Richard Reeve
The National Memorial Arch stands in Valley Forge National Historical Park. It memorializes the thousands of soldiers who were encamped in the area during 1777-1778 as part of the Continental Army, under extremely poor conditions. With poor supplies over 2,500 men and 700 horses died of disease and starvation during that winter.
The arch contains the poignant memorial:
"Naked and starving as they are we cannot enough admire the incomparable patience and fidelity of the soldiery"
At Valley Forge the Continental Army did receive training from Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben during the Spring of 1778 which, together with the alliance with France, enabled them to better defend, and eventually rout the British.
The rest, as they say, is history...
About Richard Reeve
I am a visual story teller based in southern Pennsylvania, USA and my imagery is inspired from everyday objects and situations I encounter through my travels. My work has been exhibited and sold at the Bradford Avenue Galleries (Allinson Gallery and Huston Gallery) at Chester County Art Association, in addition to this online store. My images have also been exhibited at Panorama XXL, Rouen, France and the Cincinnati Museum Center, Cincinnati, USA. I hope you will find something that inspires you, amuses you, makes you think, smile, frown, or perhaps just scratch your head. Go on, dive in... and for those of you who do so, I offer a big thank you for looking through my window on the world! ~Richard ReevePhotos Inspiring...
