Perhaps the most readable account of Nathan Hale is to be found in Lossing's Two Spies (André and Hale). Consult Partridge's Nathan Hale, a character study.
In connection with this story, Chapter XVII, "The Story of Arnold's Treason," in Blaisdell's Story of American History may be profitably read.
[CHAPTER V]
OUR GREATEST PATRIOT
For the everyday life of Washington, consult Paul Leicester Ford's The True George Washington. Refer to sundry sections in Bolton's The Private Soldier under Washington and in Herbert's Washington: His Homes and his Households.
Read the stirring romance about Washington, A Virginia Cavalier, by Molly Elliot Seawell.
[CHAPTER VI]
A MIDNIGHT SURPRISE
For the capture of Stony Point, read Lodge's Story of the Revolution, Vol. II, p. 130; Brady's American Fights and Fighters, p. 121; and Roosevelt and Lodge's Hero Tales from American History, p. 79. Henry P. Johnston's The Storming of Stony Point is perhaps the best account ever written of this famous exploit.
[CHAPTER VII]
THE DEFEAT OF THE RED DRAGOONS
Read Roosevelt and Lodge's Hero Tales from American History, p. 69, and Lodge's Story of the Revolution, p. 56.
In connection with Chapters VII and VIII, read "The War of the Revolution in the South," in Blaisdell's Story of American History, Chapter XVI, p, 250.
