McKenney, Tom

“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

“Tom McKenney’s work is richly detailed, informative, and engaging. His research is extensively supported by countless interviews and eyewitness reports; he even sheds new light on details about the 1862 battle for Fort Donelson and the subsequent Union occupation. McKenney’s emphasis on local stories and the dynamics of the nineteenth-century wartime society only enriches our understanding of the events of Forts Henry, Heiman, and Donelson. 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

“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.Along the way, McKenney excavates the unique story of one corner of the western theater’s murky Civil War. This work makes a huge contribution to this poorly understood theater of America’s greatest conflict. “

—Scot Danforth, director, University of Tennessee Press
