Remarkable Woman – Nancy K. Loane

Nancy K. Loane, is the author of the book Following the Drum: Women at the Valley Forge Encampment, published in 2020.

Nancy provided research collected from written orders, personal diaries from the women who spent time at the Valley Forge Encampment. She is an author who brought information about visitors to a place I enjoy visiting every time I am in the area or need a place to ponder my life issues. Nancy is a native of Valley Forge, PA, a former seasonal ranger at Valley Forge National Park, a founding member of the American Revolution Round Table of Philadelphia, and an honorary lifetime member of the Society of the Descendants of Washington’s Army at Valley Forge (2020). I have always wondered about the daily events that occurred at Valley Forge National Historical Park during the winter of 1777 and purchased the book to learn about the events that have not been included in History books. I chose Nancy because she decided that the women who spent time at Valley Forge along with the soldiers. She has given part of the spotlight on the women who were brave enough work along side of the men who fought for our freedom. I encourage you to visit your library or purchase this book to learn about the women of Valley Forge.
