Robert Smalls was born a slave. He worked in Charleston making money for the master. By the time he was eighteen, he was married with a family. And more than anything else, he wanted his wife and his children to be free.
The Freedom Ship of Robert Smalls is the story of Robert's desperate journey to freedom on a captured confederate gunboat, with fifteen other run-away slaves—men, women and children. It is a story filled with excitement, adventure, courage and hope.
