James Coleman Civil War Signal Pioneer and Deserter Suspect
The narrative follows James Coleman a skilled mechanic turned Confederate signal expert in Atlanta and Corinth. It details his early life, move to the South, mastery of telegraphy, service under Bragg, and risky espionage with Snow in Kentucky and Tennessee. It recounts grudging respect from Confederate officers, suspicions of Union communication, Snow’s capture, and Coleman's tense defiant stance as Murfreesboro looms and a drumhead trial is scheduled.
