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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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. By the end of the Civil War, the Union had committed infantry and cavalry from nine regiments and a specially equipped amphibious task force of marines to capture Hinson, who was by that time nearly sixty years old. They never caught him. Since then, the story of Jack Hinson has evaded astute historians, and until now, he has remained invisible in the history of sniper warfare.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this unprecedented and incredible biography, Lt. Col. Tom C. McKenney masterfully recounts Hinson's extraordinary feats as a lone Confederate sniper. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pelican Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48709957157081,"sku":"9781589806405","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/3121\/5065\/files\/9781589806405.jpg?v=1778790739","url":"https:\/\/www.blacknectarbooks.com\/products\/jack-hinsons-one-man-war-hardcover","provider":"blacknectar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
