Commander’s note:
January was a good start on the SCV
things to do list. The pictures of the Fort
Worth Stock Show Parade that David
Moore took, it looks like the SCV had a suc-
cessful presence with the folks of Fort
Worth, Texas. Those pictures can be seen
at “southernlegacy.org”.
And then most of the SCV camps & UDC
chapters through out the 3rd & 4th Bri-
gade area had some kind of celebration for
Confederate Heroes Day. I know Monday
was the 19th, the actual birthday date of
Gen. Robert Edward Lee. And the 19th
moves to Tuesday in 2016. There is no
need to cause friction on MLK Day if it can
be avoided. I believe we got our point
across on the Sunday gatherings at the
perspective cemeteries & CV monuments
in the manner of Ladies and Gentlemen
that our Southern heritage dictates us to
be.
A the camp meeting while I was giving out
the “when & where’s” of these Confederate
Heroes Day celebrations , our new Color
Bearer & Aid to Camp ; George Williams
asked, “Why don’t we do our own?” What
an epiphany?
So, within a few minutes SCV Lee-
Bourland Camp # 1848 in Gainesville,
Texas had their first annual Confederate
Heroes Day Celebration “when’d & wher-
e’d.” Pictures later in the newsletter.
I’d like to thank the 3 Ladies & 6 Gentle-
man who showed up in period attire on
such short notice. And I would like to
thank the support folks of these 9 for being
there also.

Jack Hinson, Who was he? Well, for those of you in the reading audience which can’t wait for the next sniper story, your waiting is over. The story itself can be found on “Wikipedia.org.” The Free Encyclopedia. The subject matter and Jack Hinson story were brought to Ozzie the editor’s attention by an Oklahoma SCV Brg.Gen. Stand Watie Camp # 149 member: James Catron.
John W. "Jack" Hinson, "Old Jack" (1807–1874) was a farmer in Stewart County, Tennessee who operated as a Confederate partisan sniper against Union forces in the Between-the-Rivers region of Tennessee and Kentucky during the American Civil War.
Hinson, a prosperous plantation owner of Scotch-Irish descent, was neutral at the outbreak of the war but took up arms after two of his sons were executed as suspected bushwhackers by Federal troops; their heads were cut off and stuck on the gate-posts to Hinson's home.[1] Hinson used a custom made 50 caliber41-inch bar-rel Kentucky Long Rifle to target Union soldiers more than a half-mile away on land, transports, and gunboats along the Tennessee River and theCumberland River, killing as many as a hundred. Hinson also served as a guide for Nathan Bedford Forrest in his assault on the Union supply center atJohnsonville, Tennessee in November 1864. He was the father of Robert Hinson, who served as the leader of a highly effective partisan band in the Between-the-Rivers region until his death in combat on September 18, 1863. Jack Hinson was never apprehended despite the commitment of elements of four Un-ion regiments to pursue him, and survived the war, dying on 28 April 1874 (according to the 16 May 1874 Clarkville Weekly Chronicle, via the Dover Record) in the White Oak/Magnolia area of Houston coun-ty, Tennessee. He is buried in the family plot in the Cane Creek Ceme-tery (with a different birth year of 1793 and death year of 1873), just off White Oak road (near McKinnon, Tennessee). A marker was placed in the Boyd Cemetery far away to the North, in the Land-Between-the Lakes (LBL) area.
He is commemorated in a roadside marker in Kentucky,[2] and his sto-ry has been told in two books by Tom McKenney:
