After a ride that rivals Paul Re-

vote in Delaware's delegation to the
Continental Congress at Philadelphia

ence. Late on July l, 1776, he ar
rived home after quelling revolt
in Sussex County where he received
an urgent summons to Philadelphia.
Mounting horse, he rode through
the night and arrived in the north

resolution. That spirit of service
animates Delaware people in buying
