The Drillmaster of Valley Forge

This book tells the story of Baron de Steuben, a failure in midlife who sought glory in the New World. Steeped in the traditions of the Prussian army, he taught the demoralized soldiers of the Continental Army how to fight like Europeans. His guiding hand shaped the force that triumphed over the British, and his principles still guide the American armed forces today. Explore the remarkable life of this little-known figure and his lasting impact on our Revolutionary heritage.
