New book drills deep on 'The Drillmaster of Valley Forge'

Baron von Steuben's drilling of Continental Army soldiers prepared George Washington's army during the dark days of the American Revolution in Valley Forge.

But no authoritative biography has been written on Steuben since 1937. Until recently.

Paul Lockhart's "The Drillmaster of Valley Forge" is a fresh look at the Prussian military man and offer glimpses into the York County scene, where the Continental Congress was then meeting.
