I wonder how many current high school students or college students even though the name Nathan Hale.

I doubt that I was even out of grade school before I learned of this great man and his valor.

I clearly recall in grade school being taught about another hero of the Revolution, Francis Marion AKA The Swamp Fox.

Truly, there were so many heroes of the revolution that it almost seems a little unfair to single out a few of the more well-known ones.

At least one HS in East Texas doesn’t teach history prior to the Clintons.

We forget how young many of our Revolution heroes and founding fathers were.
