Feeding Washington's Army: A Conversation with Ricardo A. Herrera

Ricardo A. Herrera’s new book, Feeding Washington's Army: Surviving the Valley Forge Winter of 1778, examines the Continental Army’s leadership and performance through a major, but little-known, foraging operation undertaken during the Valley Forge winter of 1778.
This book moves far beyond oft-told tales of Valley Forge and digs deeply into its daily reality, revealing how close the Continental Army came to succumbing to starvation and how strong and resourceful its soldiers and leaders actually were.

Excellent guest handling the constant interrupting host with manners and courtesy

[@uriah-s97]

Agreed, I found it difficult to stay engaged in the interview.

[@AmandaS18]

I was thinking exactly the same 😮

[@lighthorselee7943]

He was so rude. The guest handled it very well.

The host continually barreling in with interruptions was very rude. The guest handled it very well and did his best to tryn keep things flowing. Early on the guest TRIED to speak of pre-Trenton events and mentioned "Washingtons retreat thru the Jerseys..." and the host butted in with "So we're going back to that"?? Uh yes. We're going back to that. Oh brother. I'm sure this is a good book and well researched (and I live near Valley Forge) and look forward to getting it, I'm sure its a good read, despite the hosts bumbling things here.

I had to turn it off. I was completely cringing at the way this was being conducted. Yikes.
