Jack Hinson's One-Man War

De: Tom C. McKenney

Narrado por: David Colacci

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 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.

Loved it.

Great story about a little known historical figure that deserves to be brought out into the light.

Strong Research

This book is a little slow to listen to, but gives strong well researched facts about the War of Northern Aggression . A very interesting listen unless you're into the politically correct one sided spoonfed history lessons that our kids are being taught today.

Admiration for Jack Hinson and his family

An inspiring story that all patriotic Americans should know and a cautionary story of what brave men are capable of when pushed too far by a corrupt and callous government......perhaps like the one that claims to represent us now(?).

Wonderful audio book.

Interesting and informative from start to finish. Well researched and we'll written. Great to hear a book untainted by political correctness.

Awe inspiring

ABSOLUTELY captivating. What happens when a peace loving man is betrayed and his family harmed. Hell hath no fury.
