Captain Hinson made war on soldiers who pillaged his country and decapitated his sons. Anyone who confuses that occupaton with murdering civilians is deeply disturbed or dough head stupid. I do not disagree that Hinson was an avenger any more or less than a patriot. My understanding is that he was indeed a partisan rather than a free lancing guerilla. I am willing to read the book with an open mind. Thanks for not talking down to me very much.
