Defying her father, she risked everything and brought two worlds together in 1607. Nathan Hale was a popular Connecticut schoolteacher who became a daring spy during the Revolutionary War, only to be betrayed and executed in 1776. This volume based on acclaimed biographies by Elizabeth Eggleston Seelye and Jean Christie Root brings back to life two legends from different eras in American history.
