Filled to the brim with suspense, this true story details how Robert Smalls commandeered a Confederate ship through the Charleston harbor toward liberation at the Union blockade. Experience both determination and triumph with this picture book biography written by Robert Small's great-great grandson, Michael Boulware Moore."--,Provided by publisher.
