An Incredible Story

Bob Reed - 03/02/2012

I just finished reading this incredible book. Living near and being familiar with the area where the action takes place has a real meaning to me as the reader. My wife and I are planning a trip for next weekend to actually "walk" the book in and around Dover, Waverly, Paris Landing, KY. I think this is a must read for anyone living in middle TN who has an interest in the Civil War.

Review from B.F. Cooling

Pelican - 03/02/2012

"Tom McKenney makes a major contribution to yet another dimension of our Civil War. Tennessee civilian-warrior Jack Hinson single-handedly fought a personal vendetta for home and family against Union forces of oppression and persecution. Whether he is perceived as patriot, freedom fighter, or terrorist, one cannot fail to be enthralled by his personal story, uncovered by McKenney in the best tradition of painstaking research and told with a flair for local history superimposed on the big screen of military occupation and strife. McKenney's study is an absolute 'must' for students of the Civil War in Tennessee." --B. F. Cooling, author, Forts Henry and Donelson and Fort Donelson's Legacy

Endorsement from Scot Danforth

Pelican - 03/02/2012

"Tom McKenney's intensive research and lively narrative strip away the nearly unbelievable mythology surrounding Confederate sniper Jack Hinson, only to reveal an even more striking real individual--a genuine hero, an expert marksman, and the complex embodiment of a war that pitted brother against brother and often one's self-interest against his own deeply held beliefs and loyalties . . . This work makes a huge contribution to this poorly understood theater of America's greatest conflict." --Scot Danforth, director, University of Tennessee Press

Review from Susan Hawkins

Pelican - 03/02/2012

"Tom McKenney's work is richly detailed, informative, and engaging . . . Anyone who wants a better grasp on guerrilla warfare and the western theater should read this book." --Susan M. Hawkins, park ranger, National Park Service
