The exciting story of Robert Smalls and his daring escape from slavery during the Civil War. Robert along with his family and a few friends take an opportunity to sail a ship out of the Confederate harbor of Charleston to the freedom of the Union blockade.
I enjoyed this little known story of one man's bravery and determination as he sought freedom for his family and friends. The mixed media, collage style illustrations are wonderful. The story was written by Robert Smalls' great great grandson.
