Summary

"Robert Smalls, the black Civil War hero, began his public career by running a Confederate vessel out of Charleston harbor and turning it over to the Union naval blockade. He went on to become a controversial political figure in Reconstruction Era South Carolina. In this study, Mr. Uya sketches a portrait of one of the most colorful personalities of the Reconstruction decades, placing his career and contributions in balanced, historical perspective." --page 4 of cover.
