The History of Chester Springs, PA
Earlier known as Yellow Springs, Washington stopped here following his defeat at the Battle of Brandywine. From his headquarters, he fired off a series of directives urging the army to conserve ammunition, pleading with his poorly supplied troops that “the salvation of their country marker may depend thereon.” Historians estimate that more than 2,000 Continental soldiers died during the Valley Forge winter of 1777-78, mostly from diseases spread by unsanitary conditions, poor nutrition, and harsh exposure. The hospital at Yellow or Chester Springs handled many of the sick, although other regional hospitals also received military patients marker. Bodo Otto, a German-born physician, served as Surgeon-in-Chief of the Yellow Springs hospital.
