Aside from Marquis de Lafayette a French man, Baron Friedrich Von Steuben, an experienced military officer from Prussia, led with a combination of respect and fear. He started training our American troops,mainly on basic military drills. Soon he turned the Continental Army into a finely tuned fighting force.Now instead of just a bunch of colonists jumbled up to form a group for fighting we have a very strong army almost as strong as Britain's. Thanks to these men.Deverell, William, and Deborah Gray. White. United States History: Beginnings to 1877. Orlando, FL: Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 2007. Print.
