Deadly Aim:
The Civil War Story of Michigan’s Anishinaabe Sharpshooters

 “An absorb­ing his­to­ry of Com­pa­ny K, from riv­et­ing bat­tle­field nar­ra­tives and vivid accounts of hor­rors endured at Ander­son­ville Prison to tales of pover­ty due to pen­sion ben­e­fits denied.” (Book­list, starred review)

“Metic­u­lous research and inclu­sion of his­tor­i­cal pho­tographs, maps, let­ters, and oth­er Civ­il War-era doc­u­ments, as well as the smooth inte­gra­tion of pri­ma­ry source quotes, pro­vide a sol­id non­fic­tion tar­get wor­thy of shelf space. How­ev­er, it’s the final chap­ter and epi­logue recount­ing life after the war that give a human depth to the sol­diers’ lives and place this work square­ly in the bul­l’s-eye. Hits the mark.” (Kirkus Reviews)

“Walk­er has tak­en a tough sto­ry to tell—and paint­ed it with grace, dig­ni­ty, and respect for all involved. She put flesh and blood to names that had been buried in history—and brought those names to life mag­nif­i­cent­ly. She objec­tive­ly presents a sto­ry through facts, fig­ures, and events/actions that will cre­ate deep emo­tion­al impres­sions upon read­ers. This is a mag­nif­i­cent book, one that adds an incred­i­bly impor­tant lay­er to the his­to­ry of this con­flict.” (Jef­frey Copeland, Uni­ver­si­ty of North­ern Iowa)
