When ten thousand Revolutionary War soldiers spent the winters of 1780 and 1781 in Jockey Hollow, Tempe pitched right in to help feed and clothe them, and she kept right on helping even after her father died and her mother got sick. But mutiny was a different matter. Cold, tired, and unpaid, the Pennsylvania soldiers turned against their captains.
