About this product

Product Information

The true story of one man's reluctant but relentless war against the invaders of his country.A quiet, wealthy plantation owner, Jack Hinson watched the start of the Civil War with disinterest. Opposed to secession and a friend to Union and Confederate commanders alike, he did not want a war. After Union soldiers seized and murdered his sons, placing their decapitated heads on the gateposts of his estate, Hinson could remain indifferent no longer. He commissioned a special rifle for long-range accuracy, he took to the woods, and he set out for revenge. This remarkable biography presents the story of Jack Hinson, a lone Confederate sniper who, at the age of 57, waged a personal war on Grant's army and navy. The result of 15 years of scholarship, this meticulously researched and beautifully written work is the only account of Hinson's life ever recorded and involves an unbelievable cast of characters, including the Earp brothers, Jesse James, and Nathan Bedford Forrest.

    Picture of life in the civil war

    The biggest reason I totally enjoyed the book--my husband and myself worked with the great-great-grandson of Jack Hinson for a number of years, BUT we didn't know about this until he passed this summer. Also we live in this immediate area and didn't have any knowing of the history surrounding us. It is a great read and resonates deeply living in the area. I recommend this read highly as it paints a picture of live from that time period. We cannot imagine life then but realize this country is in another empass and rings it true.

  • Top critical review

    Monotonous waste of time.

    I am a military historian with a personal library of several hundred volumes. I read over half this book before filing it away in my "waste of time" section. The author has taken what would have been an interesting subject and turned it into a marathon attempt to stretch a short story into a book. The "book" goes into detail about unnecessary and uninteresting background information. I don't care about which soldiers stole whose chickens! I've read too much of this nonsense and still haven't gotten to anything interesting about Jack Hinson or any atrocities that caused him to become a confederate sniper. The relevant content of this book could be included in a magazine article!

  • Should be required reading for ALL students in ALL schools !

    McKenney's 15 years of research have paid off in a superb & accurately documented account of the Southern Family during the Civil War. As was typical of this war, the history of the vanquished has been being written by the victors. You can find that version in the public schools, hollywood, and on NPTV/NPR - AFTER - its been edited, of course ! Moreover, he did it without having to portray anyone as this or that - just refer to his footnotes, military archives, and local periodicals of the day. Can anyone document what Jack Hinson may have actually thought? Or sometimes said, not always. But what Jack Hinson DID is a matter of record and speaks for itself. By the way, what the union army DID is on record too. But, like today, those in charge, in power, rarely give you that ...

  • Magnificently told, Expertly researched and documented

    This is one book that I honestly hated to have come to an end. The author has you feeling like you know the Hinson's and the entire community that comprise the Land between the rivers. This is one fantastic book and I can not recommend it enough to anyone that has a love of the history of the war of Northern Aggression. I pass through this area when I travel to see my daughter and grand kids. I will be stopping to see some of the area that are written about. There is a chapter just for those wishing to see the areas discussed today and I will be using that to see these areas for myself. One can do this when they are retired;) I would absolutely LOVE to speak with the Author. George Erdel Murfreesboro, Tennessee SVC Camp 33
