Özet

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.

This book was very enjoyable and will be appreciated by anyone intrested in the civil war from the viewpoint of normal people.
The historical battles and engagements are well written and atmospheric.
if you have a modern anti south bias you will find this book difficult. The author faithfully recreates a balanced view of southern life and conflict and is not ashamed to show that the north could be brutal and sadistic during this war as well.
Overall a great listen about terrible times in a terrible war.

great read. good story.

I'm British so it's no wonder I never heard of Jack Hinson I can't however understand how he is not know in the US. this story shows how one man brought death and fear to an enemy that used unjustified methods to control guerilla actions.
brilliantly written with historic back ground to the reasons the war started, very helpful to a limy. I listened to this everywhere unable to not listen, in the car, on my motorbike, in bed, watching TV, shopping. mostly due to fantastic narration so much so I have down loaded further books with David Colacci reading them.
if you buy this book you will not be disappointed unless maybe one of your ancestors was a union officer on a steam boat in kentucky.

retribution on a quiet scale
