1. For an interesting read on this same subject try “Washingtons Secret Six” by Brian Kilmeade.

   1. I can’t listen to Brian Kilmead narrations. He yells into the mic and throws the balance off. I get through one chapter and have buyers remorse.

2. Was he hanged as a spy or as a traitor?

   How did the continentals act with Loyalist or British Spys?

3. I am pretty sure the picture is not the hero Nathan Hale, but the traitor Benedict Arnold. Sorry to be nit picky but I can’t let the hero and the traitor be confused. Maybe I am just a fussy old US History teacher. There are some who will defend Arnold, but it won’t be me.
   The picture is Arnold in American uniform, engraved by H. B. Hall from a painting by John Trumbull.

   1. Thanks for catching that error. I just replaced the engraving with a free photo of a Nathan Hale statue.

4. Your reminder is important. Perhaps some of us are considered traitors by our current government. The Brits were the government of America in 1776, as I remember.

   Carry on
