These Graphic Novels depict the true story of the life of Captain Robert Smalls. Robert Smalls, born and raised as an enslaved person, commandeered the steamer ship "Planter" with his crew and all of their families. They sailed to freedom, and then won several pivotal battles (both in the US Army and Navy) in the Civil War, which in turn won the freedom of all enslaved people in the United States. This is a great story of Black History and American History.

At 12 years old, Robert Smalls is standing on the docks at Charleston. He is alone, his family is far away. Unfair describes every day. He remembers his mother telling him they were supposed to be free, and the encouragement from the carriage driver that brought him here: “learn to love to learn.” Young Robert Smalls looked at the boats in front of him and decided to learn everything he could about them.
Years later, Hannah Smalls is on board The Confederate Steamship Planter. Lazy, mean Confederate Officers just left, and Hannah’s husband Robert is telling her he has a plan to take this boat and everyone on board past enemy lines to safety. Together, they have worked as a team throughout their marriage, always aiming for freedom. What Robert suggests is dangerous, risky, and wildly brave. Hannah agrees completely with the plan.
Burress is a different kind of runaway. He hates the plan. Burress is the type of slave who thinks he can get his freedom by telling on all the other slaves. He thinks they should listen to HIM, and be more grateful to massa.

Smalls will soon join the Union Navy to fight the confederates. At first Robert will be given the commission of Pilot of the Planter. But circumstances in a battle that the Union Navy wasn’t supposed to be a part of, will force Robert to make the choice of being a brave man or a coward that could get his Black Crew Mates Killed.

True to history, every member of the crew, and each family member play an important role on this team of real life heroes. Celebrates US Military, Army and Navy History, centering an important United States Hero. Themes include the love of learning, the joy of family love and the importance of helping each other. This book embraces the rich beauty of Black History, telling a story of a group of Founding African Americans that should never be forgotten.
