Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the proceedings of the erection of a monument to honor Caesar Rodney, a significant figure in Delaware's history. The construction of the monument coincided with Rodney's reburial in an Episcopal cemetery in Dover. In 1682, Rodney's ancestor, William Rodney, was among the original English settlers of Delaware. Caesar Rodney was born in 1728 and died in 1784, having dedicated his life to public service. The book describes Rodney's pivotal role in the Continental Congress, and his contributions to the Stamp Act and Articles of Confederation. As a member of the Continental Congress, Rodney vehemently defended the rights of the American people against British oppression. His fearless advocacy for independence earned him the respect of his peers and cemented his legacy as a staunch patriot.
