Summary "The Two Spies: Nathan Hale and John André" by Benson John Lossing is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the lives of two significant figures during the American War of Independence, Nathan Hale and John André, who were both involved in espionage for their respective sides. The book likely examines their backgrounds, patriotic motives, and the contrasting nature of their fates, highlighting the complexities of honor and duty during wartime. The opening of the book sets the stage by introducing the reader to Nathan Hale, detailing his early life in Connecticut, his education, and his deep sense of patriotism that ultimately leads him to volunteer for a dangerous spying mission. Lossing portrays Hale as not only a brave soldier but also a man of exceptional character, who is willing to sacrifice everything for his country. The narrative contrasts Hale's choices with those of John André, creating a foundation for exploration of their intertwined destinies as they represent different facets of loyalty and betrayal in the tumultuous context of the Revolutionary War.
