The mystery of the capture of Nathan Hale, the first spy in American history, is solved
During the American Revolutionary War, Nathan Hale, the first spy in American history, was captured. Before he died heroically after being captured by the British army, he left a powerful saying: "My only regret is that I only have one life to devote to my motherland." For a long time, people generally believed that it was some childish mistakes made by Hale that led to his death. He was captured, and the most fatal thing was that he trusted a stranger. But the specifics of this matter have never been known. A manuscript collected by the Library of Congress is expected to solve this historical mystery that spans 227 years.
According to James Hutson, head of the Manuscripts Department of the library, according to the analysis of this soon-to-be-released manuscript, British Army Major Robert Rogers ensnared Hale by posing as a "Continental Army" spy.
