Speaking of Secession A New Tall Tale From Indianola
Nat F. Chapman recounts a secret Confederate post office in Indianola Mississippi during Theodore Roosevelt’s first term. Minnie Cox’s postmistress tenure sparked white resistance, leading to a backstreet operation with a mail scheme and local men profiting. The tale ties to rival loyalties and a reopened post under a Confederate banner.
