Valley forge The British removed the supplies they could use from Valley Forge
while foraging. Destroyed or disabled the industrial buildings that could be of use
to the American army. According to papers filed by William Dewees the British had destroyed
“a forge, saw mill, two large stone dwelling houses, two coal houses and 400 loads of coal, and 2,200 bushels of wheat and rye in the sheaf”
