The people of Delaware were decidedly ambivalent in their support of the American Revolution, which, in Thomas Rodney's words, was caused by a handful of men and Presbyterians. Both Caesar Rodney and his hotheaded brother Thomas were among the handful. Based on their letters and those of their associates, this book effectively draws the reader into the conflict as if it were happening today. Illustrated.Jane Scott is the author of 'A Gentleman as Well as a Whig: Caesar Rodney and the American Revolution (Cultural Studies of Delaware and the Eastern Shore)', published 2000 under ISBN 9780874137002 and ISBN 0874137004.
