CAESAR RODNEYS GREAT HORSE
BACK RIDE W 1775
Irv toe JDeclaxstlon of Independ
ence Ws Saved liy a Vote la tin
Session of tire Provisional Congrrem
In MUlndelpnia
It happened on that famous Fourth
of July 177G the day on -which the
American colonies -were declared free
and Independent states If Caesar Hod
ney had not made his historic ride there
might not have been any free America
today
The provisional congress -was in sea-
sion at Philadelphia each of the
teen colonies having representatives
there It -was a great congress and a
momentous question was before the
distinguished body The great charter
of our freedom had been written by
Jefferson and Benjamin Harrison
ther and great grandfather of presi
dents had presented it to congress on J
Monday July 1 What would the Con-
rinental conirress do 1
In order that our country should be
free and independent the declaration
must be adopted This could be done if
only the colonies were divided and
there were some good men who did not
believe it best to take this step at this
time Four of the seven delegates of
Pennslyvauia were opposed to it and
of the two Delaware delegates present
Thomas MeKean was in favor of inde
pendence but George Read was op
posed to the measure Caesar Rodney
the other member was In the southern
part of his state in the capacity of a
brigadier general organizing and drill
ing troops for the coming struggle
Two of the opposing Pennsylvania
delegates were persuaded to absent
themselves and thus the Keystone
State would favor the declaration but
the vote of Caesar Rodney was ueccs
sary to carry the state of Delaware
A messenger was dispatched in hot
haste to summon him to Philadelphia
and then for four days the patriots
of 70 talked and maneuvered to de
lay the final vote On Thursday July
4 congress was to vote on the mo
mentous question
On the afternoon of the 3d the
messenger found Caesar Rodney
Sussex county more than eighty miles
General Rodnev
He Ate Often
Doctor Tou must take a quarter of
an hours vralk before every meal
Stout Patient But doctor you surely
dont trant me to -walk all day long

V flower
was at tnat time iorty six years oiu
with a tall lean worn figure his face
scarred by a cancer that was finally
to cause his death The brave patriot
did not hesitate Saddle the black
he commanded and in ten minutes he
had mounted his faithful steed and
was galloping as if for life to the
northward
Eighty miles away from congress
which was waiting for him to declare
the independence of the colonies The
thought caused him to drive his spurs
deep into his horses flanks and sent
him flying along the long dusty high
way that stretched away toward the
Quaker City It was one of the great
rides of history That black steed
bore the destinies of America and his
rider knew it and there was neither
halt nor delay
The sun went down and the stars
came out one by one in the blue vault
of heaven and that solitary rider rush
ed on his way All through the cool
summer night Caesar Rodney kept up
his reckless pace
The stars faded out of the morning
sky and the sun came up red and fiery
the herald of a sultry day And still
Caesar Rodney kept on his way He
was yet many miles from Philadelphia
His horse was jaded and he was travel
worn and covered with dust but the
patriot did not slacken his rein He
must be there to vote for the Independ
ence of America And he was there
All that hot sweltering July day the
delegates of the colonial congress were
talking and voting in Independence
hall The session had begun The pres
ident John Hancock was in the chair
and the clerk John Dickinson was
calling the colonies one by one Vir
ginia had voted and Massachusetts and
the great state of New York and the
little state of Rhode Island and now
New Jersey was voting and Caesar
Rodney had not come
Anxious and worried Thomas Mc
Kean went out to the door of Inde
pendence hall Would his friend and
compatriot be too late His face
brightened as he heard the sound of
hurrying hoof beats coming up Chest
nut street A foaming panting steed
dashed into the yard Its dusty rider
Ipaped to the ground Booted and spur
red and the dust of his long ride thick
on his long flapped coat and iron gray
hair Caesar Rodney entered the hall of
congress leaning on his friend Mc
Keans arm
He was just In time The vote of
Delaware was being called George
Read voted Nay Aye called the
clear voice of Thomas McKean It was
a tie All eyes turned to Caesar Rod
ney The famous rider cleared his
throat and many a patriot heart beat
with pride as he declared in firm tone
The voice of my constituents and of
all sensible and honest men I believe
Is In favor of independence and my
own judgment concurs with them
therefore I vote for the Declaration
And so Caesar Rodney by his famous
ride and by his noble vote helped to
settle the question of Independence and
Insured the future celebrations of the
Fonrfci of July

even girls of seven or eight carry baby

ful study of military matters loves to
ride at the head of his troops and would
doubtless lead the German army into

During military maneuvers he often
talks with private soldiers What is

question was addressed to a soldier of
huge proportions and with a face that
spoke of good humored simplicity and
honesty
