Heralded a “skillfully crafted literary masterpiece” by Leatherneck magazine, and the winner of the 2009 General Nathan Bedford Forrest Southern History Award, JACK HINSON’S ONE-MAN WAR chronicles the life story of Hinson, a prosperous and influential plantation owner in the 1850s who transformed himself into a deadly, lone sniper after a unit of Union occupation troops brutally murdered and decapitated his sons.
An exemplary piece of historical scholarship and the result of fifteen years of research, this definitive biography includes an amazing cast of characters including the Earp Brothers, Nathan Bedford Forrest, and Jesse James, the cousin of Hinson’s wife. This breathtaking story was all but destroyed by the obliterating forces of history and is the only account in print chronicling this one man’s impact on the Civil War.
