Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Asher Wright was one of the last remaining Patriots who had seen Hale alive. He spoke extensively about him, and explained that Hale was not supposed to have become a spy in the first place.

#2 Nathan Hale was a student at Yale in the Class of 73, and he was taught to revere magistrates and ministers as God’s chosen servants. He was also taught to observe each Sabbath as if it were his last.

#3 Students at Yale were often bored, and they spent their time entertaining themselves. Hale was a member of the Linonia, the most social of the debating clubs, and he participated in amateur theatrical productions.

#4 In the 1770s, Yale was a place where comradeship and camaraderie flourished, but the college also inspired a rebellious, insubordinate ethos. The students were notorious for their politics, and they often complained about the poor food and cost of books.
