(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Gary Lippincott. Suffering from cancer and asthma, Delaware's Caesar Rodney in 1776 nevertheless rode eighty miles from Dover to Philadelphia to vote for independence from England, thus breaking Delaware's tie vote and contributing to the unanimity required to proceed. This story is supplemented, sometimes distractingly, by British proclamations and summaries of preliminary battles; captioned illustrations in softened colors illustrate most pages. Reading list. Bib., ind.
Reviewer: Frieda F. Bostian
