In the Valley Forge of the Dolls
Bundled up against the cold, I explored Valley Forge National Historical Park with a few dolls—two in modern winter gear and the other in an 18th-century riding habit. As I captured photos near the reconstructed soldier huts, I imagined what it was like for Washington’s troops during the harsh winter of 1777-78. Valley Forge may not be a battlefield, but it was a proving ground—both for the Continental Army and for my frozen fingers as I snapped photos in the snow!
