Excerpt from A Trooper's Narrative of Service in the Anthracite Coal Strike, 1902 In 1809, the Second Troop joined in an application to the Legislature to authorize the forming of a Regiment of Cavalry for the City and County of Philadelphia, there being then six troops of cavalry here. On June 14th, 1810, the necessary permission having been granted, a regiment was formed, and Robert Wharton, who had commanded both the First and the Second Troop, was chosen Colonel. Thomas Cadwalader now became Captain of the Second Troop, which, with the other troops, performed, at various times, escort duty to Captain John Paul Jones, Commodore Stephen Decatur, Cap tain Bainbridge and others.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A shining portrait of a presciently modern political genius maneuvering in a gilded age of wealth, optimism, excess and American global ascension.”—San Francisco Chronicle WINNER OF THE LOS ANGELES TIMES BOOK PRIZE FOR BIOGRAPHY • “[Theodore Rex] is one of the great histories of the American presidency, worthy of being on a shelf alongside Henry Adams’s volumes on Jefferson and Madison.”—Times Literary Supplement Theodore Rex is the story—never fully told before—of Theodore Roosevelt’s two world-changing terms as President of the United States. A hundred years before the catastrophe of September 11, 2001, “TR” succeeded to power in the aftermath of an act of terrorism. Youngest of all our chief executives, he rallied a stricken nation with his superhuman energy, charm, and political skills. He proceeded to combat the problems of race and labor relations and trust control while making the Panama Canal possible and winning the Nobel Peace Prize. But his most historic achievement remains his creation of a national conservation policy, and his monument millions of acres of protected parks and forest. Theodore Rex ends with TR leaving office, still only fifty years old, his future reputation secure as one of our greatest presidents.
