Quita (Verban) Shier ’60 wrote a book called “Warriors in Mr. Lincoln’s Army: Native American Soldiers Who Fought in the Civil War” that was published by iUniverse in December of 2017 and is now available online for purchase. The book contains comprehensive profiles of 140 little-known soldiers (enlisted “grunts”) of Company K, First Michigan Sharpshooters and the reasons why they wanted to enlist to fight a war in a country where they were not even recognized as citizens. Each profile is divided into two sections: the men’s military experiences and their biographies. These profiles are their stories.

Here is a link to more information about the book.

You can order it online here.

Congratulations, Quita!
