Last Words of Captain Nathan Hale, the Hero-Martyr of the American Revolutuion.

Creator Felix Octavius Carr Darley (1822-1888), Henry Howe (1816-1893)
Accession number 34.100.49 
Unique identifier MNY27642 
Description Designed by F. O. C Darley, Engraved by A. H. Ritchie and Published Exclusively for Subscribers of the Adventures and Achievements of Americans. Moved by an intense love of country, the young and gifted Captain Nathan Hale, at the earnest request of Washington, entered the British lines in disguise. He was betrayed and condemned to die. When marched out to the place of execution he was tauntingly asked for his "dying speech and confession." With this his face lit up with an expression of patriotism, and in a clear voice, he spake these heroic words: "My only regret is, that I have but one life to lose for my country!" Stung by this reply, the infuriated officer exclaimed, "Swing the Rebel up! - Swing the Rebel up!" and, in a moment more, the spirit of Nathan Hale passed away- a noble sacrifice to American Liberty. This tragedy was enacted in the vicinity of New York, on a calm Sabbath morning in early Autumn 1776. On the left of the engraving, is shown the fatal Tree, with Ladder, Rope, Coffin and Negro Executioner. In the front stands the majestic figure of the young Patriot, and that of the brutal Provost Marshal, the infamous Major Cunningham, who true to his character, denied Hale his last request for the Bible, and also destroyed his letters to friends; giving as a reason for so doing, "that the Rebels might not know that they had a man who could die with such firmness."
