|A Great Way to Experience Memphis History,
Memphis Then and Now provides beautiful photographs of these important historical sites, as they were, and as they are; usually shot from the same angle. Accompanying each photograph is a well-written paragraph placing the locale in a historical and cultural context. The author is a highly regarded expert on Memphis history and is the creator of MemphisHistory.com, an authoritative website. Even long-time residents will be surprised at the historical significance of many of these locations.
Each event happens in a place, and these places endure in one form or another. Viewing the history of Memphis from the perspective of these sites is enjoyable and enlightening. An excellent book and highly recommended!
