This statue of Nathan Hale by Bela Lyon Pratt (sculptor) and Douglas W. Orr (architect), was dedicated in 1948 in Washington, DC.
Originally designed in 1915 and cast in 1930, this statue of the famous American Revolution martyr was moved to Washington, DC. This life-sized bronze statue of Nathan Hale shows him at the moment of his famous speech on the gallows. He stand upright with his feet and hands bound with a blindfold on his shoulders. The immortal words of this speech are inscribed on the base “I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country.”
