This biography of him was pretty dang good. Super fascinating.

This is a repost, but one worth reposting.

I saw this years ago and bought the book, "Be Free Or Die" to learn more about him. Highly recommend.

This man should be known.

I really like reading about Robert Smalls, a slave who worked on a steamboat, stole it, made it to the Union side, rallied congress, fought for the North in the remainder of the war, and then became a congressman himself afterward.

There are several books about him, that's the most "history book" nonfiction style. There are others that offer a more dramatic perspective if you think your friend would prefer that instead.
