Book Reviews of Memphis (TN) (Images of America)
Book Review: Beautiful Cross-section
Summary: 5 Stars
I read a lot of Memphis books. I look at a lot of Memphis pictures. As the webmaster at MemphisHistory.com I can tell you that Mr. Dougan has provided a brilliant cross-section of both picture and narrative in this book of very manageable size.
Although this is, in many ways a picture book, Dougan manages to cover things others ignore. He touches on the four or five major industries of Memphis, from transportation to hardwood to mules and back to transportation. There are some unique pictures of early Memphis athletes as well.
This author has taken a limited amount of space and packed it full of spot-on history and incredibly attractive visual bites of the past.
