Deadly Aim is a fascinating book about the Anishinaabe Native Americans that fought bravely, with many losing their lives, in the Civil War. Because of their hunting skills and precision marksmanship, the Odawas, Potawatomis and Ojibwes people decided to fight — was it for their freedom, potentially becoming enslaved themselves or to obtain equality no one is sure, but no matter their reason, the Anishinaabe felt that it was their duty and honor.

Well documented with time-period photos, copies of articles and military orders that follow through with the text. TOC, glossary, muster roll and appendices support the information and accessibility of this title.

Great reference book and general read for anyone interested in the Civil War and the Native Americans  involvement. Recommended for 7th grade and up.
