The author tells the story of Memphis before 1900 as an approach to the study of a complex region where, in antebellum days, West met South, agriculture was linked with commerce, and, during the Civil War, economic interest clashed with sectional loyalty and lost. Personal knowledge, local sources, maps, and contemporary drawings make the book lively and authentic.
