The next morning, Sept. 22, 1776, at 11 a.m., he was hanged at a point which is now 66th Street and Third Avenue in Manhattan. His calm dignity and poise made a deep impression on Captain John Montresor, an aide-de-camp to General Howe. It was Montresor who later reported Hale's last words: "I only regret that I have but one life to give for my country."* After the patriot's body was cut down, it was buried...
