Description

The true story of one man’s reluctant but relentless war against the invaders of his country.A quiet, rich plantation owner, Jack Hinson watched the beginning of the Civil War with disinterest. Opposed to secession and a friend to Union and Confederate commanders alike, he didn’t desire 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 tale of Jack Hinson, a lone Confederate sniper who, on the age of 57, waged a personal war on Grant’s army and navy. The results of 15 years of scholarship, this meticulously researched and beautifully written work is the one account of Hinson’s life ever recorded and involves an improbable cast of characters, including the Earp brothers, Jesse James, and Nathan Bedford Forrest.
