DONOR & DATE: The Valley Forge Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution,1912. HISTORICAL DATA: Although it is estimated that between 1,500 and 3,000 troops and auxilaries died during the Valley Forge encampment, it is not known how many were buried here, since many soldiers died in hospitals far from camp.
