Summary

"Book News: McKenney, a retired infantry officer and noted author, tells the story of legendary Civil War sniper Jack Hinson; a wealthy plantation owner who remained neutral until Union troops murdered his two sons on his property. The author spent over 15 years researching Hinson, finding surprising links between this man and other noted historical figures such as Nathan Bedford Forrest, Wyatt Earp and Jesse James (the cousin of Hinson's wife). Civil war buffs and historians will appreciate the details in this biography, considering that most of the documents surrounding Hinson's exploits were destroyed and most of the information has been suppressed by his family for generations.
