Excerpt from Memphis, Tenn., The Bluff City: Mistress of the Valley of the "Lower River" Imagine, once more, this line of bluffs: Midway them, between bridge and bend, a levee; a broad, paved, Sloping, landing place, feet long, 500 wide; with steamboats, white-hulled and black-stacked, pennants fly ing from jackstaffs, wheels gently churning the sluggish current inshore, all along, aligning it; back of it railroads, skirting it, some upon trestle work, some on the surface itself.
