Before Nathan Hale became a spy, he was a school teacher. Once he joined the army and they were in need of a spy to figure out when the British would attack, Nathan Hale elected himself. Nathan Hale went to the British encampment and became a "School Teacher" for his disguise. One day as Nathan was in a local pub, a British officer noticed Nathan Hale and thought he looked very familiar. Nathan Hale had powder burns on his right cheek from a musket. A school teacher would not of had this. Due to Nathan hales burns on his face, and how uncommon it looked. They figured out that he was a spy. And hung him. When he was hung the last words he spoke were "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country." and this is what Nathan Hale is most known for. -Written by a student from Ms.Rosas's class. 2010.
