I enjoyed the mini-series but noted that there was no mention of von Steuben who did a fine job- despite his inability to speak English - of organizing undisciplined troops into disciplined soldiers while in winter quarters. Friedrich Wilhelm August Heinrich Ferdinand Steuben, also referred to as Baron von Steuben, was a Prussian and later an American military officer. He served as Inspector General and a Major General of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War. - Wikipedia
