Summary "Caesar Rodney's Ride" by Henry Fisk Carlton is a historical drama written in the early to mid-20th century. The book centers around a pivotal event in American history—the ride of Caesar Rodney, a delegate from Delaware, to Philadelphia to secure his colony's vote for independence during the Continental Congress in 1776. The story captures the urgency and turmoil surrounding the decision for American independence, emphasizing the sacrifices made by individuals in the pursuit of freedom. The narrative unfolds the tense atmosphere of the Continental Congress as delegates debate the Lee Resolution, which proposes independence from British rule. When it becomes clear that Delaware's vote is essential for unanimity, a messenger rushes to retrieve Rodney, who is gravely ill and resting at home. Overcoming his frailty with determination, Rodney embarks on a strenuous journey, aided by Uriah Clarke, who rides with him through harsh weather and challenging terrains, demonstrating valor and commitment to their cause. Ultimately, Rodney arrives just in time to cast his vote for independence, ensuring that the resolution passes without dissent, thereby contributing significantly to the birth of a new nation.
