A small bronze statue of Continental Army solider Nathan Hale by sculptor Frederick William MacMonnies and from founder H. Rouard. This is a smaller version of the life-sized statue of Hale which is in New York City. The 21-year old Hale was captured by the British military while on an intelligence-gathering mission in New York City and executed in September 1776. His last words - "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country" - solidified his status as an American hero. The statue shows Hale standing upright with palms facing outward and a rope or chain tied around his ankles. MacMonnies was an American sculptor and painter also known for portraits.
