PIL S1:E7 – Caesar Rodney's Midnight Ride

Subscribe to the podcast.

If I started to tell you about a man who heroically strapped his horse and went upon a midnight ride at great personal risk for the American cause, youโ€™d think Iโ€™m talking about Paul Revere. While Revereโ€™s actions were indeed heroic, this story of a midnight rider is actually about Caesar Rodney.

A man who has largely been forgotten in history, Caesar Rodney of Delaware is the sole individual who saved the vote for Independence. Hear about his heroic story during this weekโ€™s episode.
