 The
Delaware choice for a quarter coin design which includes a picture of Delaware patriot
Caesar Rodney, was made public on Friday, June 12, 1998, at a press briefing held in
Dover, Delaware. Here are some brief facts about Caesar Rodney:
Caesar Rodney held more public offices than any other Delawarean before
or since. He was a soldier, judge, delegate to the American Continental Congress, speaker
for Delaware's Assembly, President (Governor) of Delaware, and a justice of the state's
Supreme Court. He also held many other local offices.
On July 1-2, 1776, Caesar Rodney embarked on a ride that made him the
hero of Delaware. The Continental Congress was meeting during the spring and summer of
1776 to contemplate declaring its independence from the British Crown. The Delaware
delegates included Thomas McKean of New Castle, George Read, also of New Castle, and
Caesar Rodney of Kent. McKean and Rodney were in favor of independence, but Read felt that
it was too drastic of a move at that time. Rodney received a message from Thomas McKean
that on July 2 the Congress was going to vote on its independence from the British.
Knowing that Read was opposed to the idea, McKean asked Rodney to dash up to Philadelphia
to settle the issue for Delaware.
