William Phelps charts the life of this famed patriot and Connecticut's state hero, following Hale's rural childhood, his education at Yale, and his work as a schoolteacher. Even in his brief career, he distinguished himself by offering formal lessons to young women. Like many young Americans, he soon became drawn into the colonies' war for independence, becoming a captain in Washington's army. When the general was in need of a spy, Hale willingly rose to the challenge, bravely sacrificing his life for the sake of American liberty.\u003cbr\u003e Using Hale's own journals and letters as well as testimonies from his friends and contemporaries, Phelps depicts the Revolution as it was seen from the ground. From the confrontation in Boston to the battle for New York City, readers experience what life was like for an ordinary soldier in the struggling Continental army.\u003cbr\u003e In this impressive, well-researched biography, Phelps separates historical fact from long-standing myth to reveal the life of Nathan Hale, a young man who deserves to be remembered as an original American patriot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Thomas Dunne Books","offers":[{"title":"Nathan Hale: The Life and Death of America's First Spy | M William Phelps | Hardcover | 9780312376413 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks G 1788575","offer_id":67857731322008,"sku":"1788575","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81CSgnE6DcL.jpg?v=1793495488","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/nathan-hale-the-life-and-death-of-americas-first-spy","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
