Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of Captain Nathan Hale: The Martyr-Spy of the American Revolution "I do think it hard," wrote Stephen Hempstead, the friend and companion of the subject of the following Memoir, "that Hale, who was equally brave, young, accomplished, learned and honorable - should be forgotten on the very threshold of his fame, even by his countrymen; that while our own historians have done honor to the memory of Andre, Hale should be unknown; that while the remains of the former have been honored even by our own countrymen, those of the latter should rest among the clods of the valley, undistinguished, unsought, and unknown." Most fully do we accord in sentiment with the patriotic remonstrant just quoted. It is indeed ´hard,´ that a spirit exalted as was that of Captain Nathan Hale - that a life and conduct like his own, so pure, so heroic, so disinterested, and so crowned by an act of martyrdom one of the most galling and valiant on record - should not have been fitly commemorated, hitherto, either by the pen of history or of biography. His ´remains´ - the dust and ashes of his body - of these no one can tell the place of interment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
