Publisher Description: A stunning tale of a little-known figure in history. Robert Smalls' astounding heroism during the Civil War helped convince Lincoln and the country that African Americans were extraordinarily capable of fighting for their freedom. Lineberry has produced a triumph in this heroic story that illuminates our country's ongoing struggles with race. --Henry Louis Gates, Jr, Professor in American History Harvard University and Executive Producer of Finding Your Roots |
