The Diary of Abigail Jane Stewart Part 1: The Army Marches into Valley Forge

Dear Diary, 

On to book two! This week we're recapping the first half of The Winter of Red Snow: The Diary of Abigail Jane Stewart written by Kristiana Gregory and published in 1996.

In Abigail's diary, we learn about the winter encampment at Valley Forge in the winter of 1777-1778. We meet George Washington and Abigail's friend, Lucy. Topics of discussion include an 18th-century recipe for egg nog, bounty coats, and historical inaccuracies! 

We hope you enjoy!

Yours truly,

Cate and Jen
