Postcards are an important element of understanding our past, for
they provide future generations a rare glimpse into a world that
many times has disappeared under the aegis of expansion and
progress. This book, containing over 175 vintage postcards, allows
readers to see one of the South's most historic cities as it looked
in the earlier part of the
twentieth century--a time when the city was experiencing
unparalleled growth. Memphis contains scenes of early river
commerce, images of many historic hotels, such as the Peabody Hotel
and Hotel Claridge, postcards of significant commercial buildings,
as well as examples of the rapid development of downtown,
showcasing Beale Street, Madison Avenue, and Main Street.
