This pamphlet includes a speech by Robert Smalls (1839-1915), an former slave and Civil War hero who stole a Confederate ship and sailed it to Union waters, securing his freedom in the process. Smalls would later serve as a member of Congress in 3 instances between 1875 and 1887. A wonderful piece of history that is a perfect candidate for restoration and rebinding.
