About the Book

More than 20,000 American Indians served in the Civil War, yet their names remain largely unknown. Sibert Award-winning author Sally M. Walker uncovers their untold tales with gripping firsthand accounts from the frontlines. Filled with archival photographs, maps, and diagrams, Deadly Aim features dramatic stories about soldiers like Company K, the elite group of sharpshooters, and Daniel Mwa-ke-we-naw, an Anishnaabek who killed more than 32 rebels in a single battle despite having been wounded three times. Sally M. Walker provides a fascinating look at the Civil War through the perspective of the American Indian soldiers. With nuance and care, the book portrays the experiences of these soldiers who were subjected to broken treaties, loss of tribal lands, and racism, yet still served with honor and heroism in the line of duty.

Review :
"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 Praise for Champion: The Comeback Tale of the American Chestnut Tree: A Junior Library Guild selection and a National Council of Teachers of English 2019 Orbis Pictus Honor Book. "A compelling, inspiring true story of a species rescued from extinction through decades of determined innovation." --Kirkus "The award-winning nonfiction author brings to light the intriguing story of the beleaguered American chestnut tree . . . . Fascinating and well-sourced." --School Library Journal Praise for Blizzard of Glass: The Halifax Explosion of 1917: "Riveting." --Kirkus, Starred Review "Halifax does indeed have a story to tell, but Walker once again proves that it's her consummate gifts as a storyteller that breathe life into the tale." --The Horn Book "This tragic, but well-told story belongs in most collections." --School Library Journal
