About the story

The story begins with the hanging of Nathan Hale for spying on the Red Coats. Jonah is a young boy growing up in the American Colonies who becomes a student of Master Nathan Hale - school master. The story unfolds switching between these two characters. The reader watches as the tension between patriots and the tories heats up and leads to war.

My opinion

This story is a very fascinating look into the life and events that lead to Nathan Hale's famous last words - 'I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country'.
