Nathan Hale (September 23, 1743 – September 23, 1780) was an American Revolutionary War officer who died as a prisoner of the British.
Hale was born in Hampstead, New Hampshire. As a young man, he and his brother Enoch Hale moved to Rindge, New Hampshire.
During the war, Hale served as an officer in the 2nd New Hampshire Regiment, rising to the rank of colonel, and participating in the battles of Lexington, where he commanded a company of minutemen, and Bunker Hill. He was captured by the British at the Battle of Hubbardton on July 7, 1777 during the Saratoga campaign. He died as a prisoner of war in New York City.
His conduct, due to his surrendering his force of seventy to fifteen British, was the subject of historic controversy.
