Question:

who is Nathan Hale?

by Guest6000 | 12 years, 7 month(s) ago

Nathan Hale - American patriot captured and hanged by the British in 1776 while trying to bring to Gen. George Washington notes and drawings of British troop deployment in New York. A former schoolteacher turned soldier, Hale went on the solo mission behind British lines because he wanted to make a more significant contribution to the American cause. The 21-year-old spy may or may not have uttered a famous quote attributed to him at his hanging -- "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country."

thats a very deep quote by Nathan Hale "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country." not many can say utter those lines in today's world. patriotism is on all time low and with the credit crunch and falling economy; putting food on the table is more important than going behind enemy lines.

Nathan Hale never married i guess he was too young and never clean the steps of city hall in germany because he died at tender age of 21. His father was Richard Hale and his mother was Elizabeth Strong. They were puritans.
