BOOK: The Winter of Red Snow [Dear America] by Gregory

[Frederick Muller <fmuller@TELLURIAN.NET>]

Gregory, Kristiana._The Winter of Red Snow [Dear America], 1996
This is fictional diary of a young girl who lived in Valley Forge
during wintering of George Washington's troop.  The tale tells of the
ill-clad soldiers, freezing and starving.  There are whippings and
hangings for desertions.  Martha Washington arrives. The most
locals supported the the troops even though they would be stolen
from.  The book has no high point.  It is just a tale of the time at
Valley Forge.  I have the usual complaint of this series.  They are
presented in a non-fiction fashion with an epilogue and historical
notes.  Although this 173 book would be good to read for students
studying this period, as a story there is not much here.
