NATHAN HALE EXECUTED




Greetings and Salutations to All my Kith and Kin and All the Ships in Outer Space:

Two hundred and thirty-three years ago, on 22 September 1776, Captain Nathan Hale, a schoolmaster from Coventry, Connecticut, who had graduated from Yale College, and then joined the Continental Army, was hanged by the British as a spy.

His famous last words were:

"I only regret that I have but one life to give for my country."

Thank you.
