The Story of Nathan Hale
Nathan Hale was a captain serving in the Continental Army when he volunteered for a risky mission to Long Island which was under British control at the time. He posed as a Dutch school teacher and he was tasked to gather intelligence on when, where and how the British were planning to cross Long Island's sound and invade Manhattan.
