Brief History of Memphis, A

Native Historian G. Wayne Dowdy tells the tales of Memphis’s triumphs and tragedies by means of the civil rights motion and past like solely a real Memphian can.

First bought within the early 1800s from natives to function an important port for the rising American river commerce, town flourished till the tumultuous years of the Civil Struggle introduced chaos and uncertainty. Regardless of its compelling story, no concise historical past of this residence of soulful music and unmistakable taste has been accessible to trendy readers till now. Fortunately, archivist G. Wayne Dowdy has crammed this hole with a historical past of Memphis that’s as vibrant and welcoming as town itself.
