The Story Behind the Shirt
Winter 1777. The army is starving, freezing, and losing. And the tradition the soldiers passed down is not of a general raging — but of a general on his knees in the snow. The Prayer at Valley Forge is the image of American leadership at its lowest hour: when nothing earthly was left, Washington took it to God. By spring, the army that shouldn't have survived marched out and won.
On the back: the full scene in fine copperplate engraving — Washington kneeling beside his horse, the camp behind, light breaking through winter trees. On the chest: the original 1765 A Co. mark in our founder's own hand. Was there more to faith at Valley Forge? Read the history.
