They killed his sons. His revenge was EPIC: Civil War Sniper Jack Hinson

Video Description

Jack Hinson, known as “Old Jack,” began the Civil War as a wealthy Tennessee planter with no intentions to enlist in the Civil War. That changed in 1862 when Union troops executed his sons and displayed their heads on his plantation gateposts. At 57 years old, Hinson armed himself with a .50 caliber and launched a one-man war of revenge. From hidden ridges above the Tennessee and Cumberland Rivers, he targeted Union officers, disrupted gunboats, and carved his legend as one of the deadliest guerrilla snipers of the Civil War. Some claim his tally reached 100 men, while others maintain that it was closer to 36. Whether avenger or angry secessionist, Jack Hinson became a symbol of how personal tragedy could fuel relentless warfare. 🤠Watch This Next!!!! ➡️ https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLn17wflMQRAi10y2tT4P3A60vjLMLpB3g&si=80HkQDCKGTBjWweu 🤠Buy Me A Coffee – https://buymeacoffee.com/wildwest 🤠Check out the website for more true tales from the Old West https://www.wildwestextra.com/ 🤠Email me! https://www.wildwestextra.com/contact/ 🤠Free Newsletter! https://wildwestjosh.substack.com/ 🤠Like this content?
