Yearning To Breathe Free: Robert Smalls of South Carolina and His Families
Love to read about the old south. Heard about the influence Robert Smalls had on Beaufort, SC. He grew up as a slave and was determined to be free. This book was very interesting and the writer wrote in great detail how Robert was instrumental in helping slavery be abolished. He went on to serve his country as a Congressman. He never gave up the fight for freedom. Enjoyed this book immensely!
