The Man Without a Country

A minor classic of American literature, The Man Without a Country was written in the midst of the Civil War to bring home the emotional point of leaving the Union with no prospect of returning. The character is fictitious but many of the events and situations described are historically accurate. This short piece captures the essence of patriotism from the flip side -- and the remorse of having taken a youthful stand of defiance.

E.E. Hale was also a nephew of Nathan Hale. He served as a Unitarian minister for most of his life, and became known as a writer of short stories.
