The volunteers with George Washington in 1776 could sometimes be tracked by the British and Hessians by the trail of blood on the snow as some didn’t have shoes.

Wimpy cowardly Iranians want to watch from the sideline as someone else fights for their freedom from the strict theocratic leaders. They reportedly want what they see on MTV and Western TV shows and ads.

Note: Tracked by Their Blood Upon the Rough Frozen Ground
Valley Forge National Historical Park

Part Three of a five-part series about the footwear worn during the Valley Forge winter encampment.

Did soldiers really leave blood upon the frozen ground as they marched into Valley Forge?
((Spoiler. Many accounts in journals and reports say it was true.)) Example: Major General William Alexander (Lord Stirling) reported:

“above one half of those in Camp are […] walking barefooted on the Ice or frozen Ground.”
