The Delaware State Quarter
Rodney, though suffering from asthma and cancer, made an 80 mile ride to Philadelphia and the Continental Congress in 1776, through thunder storms and a severe summer heat wave, to cast the deciding vote for the independence of what was to become the United States of America. Find out more about Caeser Rodney in A Gentleman as Well as a Whig. A very interesting story served along with letters written by Rodney and his contemporaries that will allow you to experience the events of the time firsthand.

The patriot on the back of this
galloping steed is named Caeser Rodney. This Dover, Delaware native held
more public offices than any other Delaware citizen. In addition to an
extremely dedicated delegate, Rodney was also a soldier, judge, and
speaker of Delaware's Assembly.
