Footprints in the Snow - George Washington’s Continental Army of 1776
This presentation recounts the very real human story of those men who marched with General George Washington in the year
of the Declaration of Independence. This was the year when the entire American cause was depending on their success, without
which all possibility for independence would have been crushed and the sacred ideals of the Declaration would have amounted to
simply words on a worthless piece of paper.
This is the story of Americans in the ranks of the army, men of every size, shape, and color, simple farmers, teachers, tradesmen,
and mere boys turned into soldiers. These were the men that stayed with the Army and did not quit. They stayed because their
commanding officer, General George Washington did not quit!
Michael Jesberger is an independent military historian who specializes in the American Revolution and Civil War time periods.
He is a member of numerous history-based organizations and active in the reenactment community.
