Valley Forge Map

This map of General Washington’s Army at Valley Forge seems to be a contemporaneous record of Washington’s positions at this historic site. We do not believe that this map has been studied or published.

It was discovered in papers associated with Newporter John Austin Stevens (1827-1910), founder of the Sons of the Revolution and a principal in the effort to save Fraunces Tavern in New York.
