Nathan Hale at Miner’s Tavern and the birth of a patriot
Wayne D. Mc Murray recounts a Miner’s Tavern mass meeting where Nathan Hale, age twenty, emerged as a pivotal Continental figure. Hale, trusted by Washington, undertook a dangerous mission, was captured near New York, and executed on September 22, 1770, after being denied a Bible and the right to write to his mother and betrothed. The piece highlights Hale’s enduring fame for his pledge, I only regret that I have but one life to give for my country.
