Washington's Birthday: Washington at Valley Forge

The debate over Washington praying at Valley Forge

Today is Washington's Birthday.  Whether Washington prayed or not as depicted above at Valley Forge is really not the point.  Valley Forge, at least at the beginning, was the low point for the Continental Army.  That they survived that winter, and drilled and prepared throughout the winter in preparation of a summer campaign, is testament to George Washington's leadership.  On the prayer debate, Washington was a very private man when it came to matters of faith and was certainly familiar with this.
