Dylan+Nathan+Hale

HI my name is Nathan Hale, I was born in Coventry, Connecticut in 1755. My fathers and mothers names are Richard and Elizabeth Hale. At the age of thirteen I was sent with my brother Enoch to Yale College. After the Revolutionary War started in 1775, I joined the Connecticut Militia, after joining the Militia they elected me to be First Lieutenant. While my Militia unit helped to participate in the siege of Boston I stayed behind not knowing whether or not I wanted to fight! It was later that my old friend Benjamin Tallmadge wrote me a letter so inspireing that I accepted a offer as First Lieutenant in the 7th Connecticut Regiment under Colonel Charles Webb. Later on Semtember 22, 1776 I volonteered to go on a spy mission for General Washington behind Brithish lines.

Nathan Hale was later caught and prosecuted!
