Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nathan Hale, 1776: Biography and Memorials This additional material reaches the writer's hand through the courtesy of individuals and societies. His acknowledg ments are due to the Rev. Edward Everett Hale, of Rox bury, Massachusetts, for an unpublished letter from his granduncle, Nathan Hale, and for other letters credited in the Appendix. Dr. Hale's own contributions to the subject have been of signal assistance, a valuable addition being the diary of his grandfather, Enoch Hale, which throws light on the mooted question of Nathan's capture and exe cution. Through the favor of Mr. W. F. Havemeyer, of New York, we have Hale's letter with the list of the pro prietors of his New London Academy, also Hale's book autograph and other suggestive material from his collec tion. Hale's letter to Miss Christophers is from the col lection of the late John Mills Hale, Esq., of Philipsburg, Pennsylvania. Mr. Grenville Kane, of Tuxedo, New York, obliges us with a full copy of Hale's interesting letter - one of the best Specimens from his pen - writ ten to his uncle at Portsmouth. Hale's army commission is in the possession of Major Godfrey A. S. Wieners, of College Point, Long Island, who kindly permits its repro duction, necessarily in reduced form, in these pages. From him also we have a complete copy of Hale's letter with his schoolmaster autograph, which we believe is given here for the first time in facsimile. Mr. George E. Hoad ley, of Hartford, long interested in everything pertaining to Nathan Hale, possesses many of his army receipts and various relics from Coventry, as well as most of Stuart's manuscripts. From him we have interesting facts respect ing Alice Adams, to whom Hale was engaged at the time of his death. The Connecticut Historical Society, Hartford, is the fortunate possessor of much the larger portion of the letters written to Hale, as well as of his army diary, basket and powder - horn. We are under obligations to the society and its librarian, Mr. Albert C. Bates, for the free use of the papers, from which considerable extracts are given. The relics also are reproduced from the originals. At Yale University there are reminders of Hale's college life in the shape of minutes of his debating society, Limonia, kept in his own hand as secretary, and other records bearing on the four years of his course. Through the courtesy of Professors Van Name and Dexter, librarians, facsimiles and copies of some of these papers have been secured, and their items help materially in bringing out Hale's person ality. The New York Historical Society, Mr. Robert H. Kelby, librarian, contains in its invaluable archives one or more British orderly - books which throw light on disputed points respecting Hale's capture and execution, and add something to our knowledge of the military situation which he was endeavoring to unravel for Washington. Nothing more important has appeared of late years than Lord Howe's order announcing Hale's fate, a facsimile of Which, through the favor of the society, is here repro duced. The portrait of Captain Montressor, who pre served Hale's last words for us, is from a volume in its collection. In the unpublished logs of the British war ships, the Halzfczx and the Cerberus, London Record Otfice, we also find important items.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nathan Hale 1776: Biography and Memorials We are coming to know more and more of Nathan Hale - an interesting fact in itself, and for his memory a welcome one. In the preface to the first edition of this work, attention was called to the new sources of information available at that date, 1901, since the publication of the earliest biography of Hale by Stuart in 1856. During the past twelve years these sources have extended. Mr. I. W. Stuart, living at Hartford and near Hale's home, was fortunately drawn to the subject when sufficient material was at hand for a beginning, and when it was still possible to glean from personal recollections. His successors appreciate his pioneer work, in spite of his somewhat free acceptance of traditions and reliance on statements, of assumed authority, made long after the event. This was natural and inevitable in his sympathetic desire to restore and perpetuate Hale's name and memory. For original material, however, he could draw upon not more than six or seven letters written by Hale, in addition to his diary, and a number from his friends. The latter he utilized to but a limited extent. What we may now describe as Hale's correspondence and papers has kept increasing until, to-day, so far as the author has been able to discover, the scattered collection includes nearly seventy separate pieces - all of them original manuscripts and of contemporary date. Sixty-four of these are printed, in whole or in part, in the present edition. They are chiefly letters - ten, with other material, being from Hale's pen and the rest from college classmates and later associates.

Excerpt: ...And to his own family--to his doating parents particularly, and a large circle of relatives and friends, to whom he was clasped in affection by hooks of steel--what a bereavement! Every face, within this circle particularly, "Bearing its deadly sorrow charactered," was a face of despondency. Death could hardly have struck down a more shining mark--its fatal dart have hardly pierced one nobler bosom--its rude, inexorable blast have scarcely nipped one fairer bud of promise f But upon no one did the " It almost killed his father and mother," said a lady, who witnessed their agony, to the late Professor Kingsley of Yale College, our informant. t" Those who knew Capt. Hale in New London," says Miss Caulkihs in her History of this town, " have described him as a news fall with more stunning effect than upon poor Asher Wright--Hale's faithful attendant in camp. It completely unstrung his nerves. It impaired his self-control. And he wore the pall of a somewhat shattered understanding down to his grave. Back to the mansion of Deacon man of many agreeable qualities; frank and independent in his bearing; social, animated, ardent, a lover of the society of ladies, and a favorite among them. Many a fair cheek was wet with bitter tears, and gentle voices uttered deep execrations on his barbarous foes, when tidings of his untimely fate were received." We commend the following extracts from a letter addressed to us by the Secretary of the Hale Monument Association, J. W. Boynton Esq., of Coventry, to the notice of the Reader. They furnish very interesting particulars about "poor Asher." "It is said that Wright was never in a sound mind after the sad fate of Hale was made known to him. He was left in...
