Description

Jack Hinson never planned to become a deadly sniper.

A prosperous and influential Kentucky plantation owner in the 1850s, Hinson was devoted to raising his growing family and working his land.

Yet by 1865, Hinson had likely killed more than one hundred men and had single-handedly taken down an armed Union transport in his one-man war against Grant's army and navy.

By the end of the Civil War, the Union had committed infantry and cavalry from nine regiments and a specially equipped amphibious task force of marines to capture Hinson, who was by that time nearly sixty years old.

They never caught him. Since then, the story of Jack Hinson has evaded astute historians, and until now, he has remained invisible in the history of sniper warfare.John S.

Old Jack" Hinson watched the start of the Civil War with impartial disinterest.

A friend of Ulysses S. Grant and Confederate officers alike
