The city is located on the fourth Chickasaw Bluff south of the confluence of the Wolf and Mississippi rivers. Memphis had a population of 652,717 in 2016, making it the second-largest city in the state of Tennessee. It is the largest city on the Mississippi River, the third largest in the greater Southeastern United States, and the 23rd largest in the United States. The greater Memphis metropolitan area had a 2014 population of 1,317,314. This makes Memphis the second-largest metropolitan area in Tennessee, surpassed by metropolitan Nashville. Since the second half of the 20th century, highways and interstates have played major roles as transportation corridors. A third interstate, I-69, is under construction, and a fourth, I-22, has recently been designated from the former High Priority Corridor X. River barges are unloaded onto trucks and trains. The city is home to Memphis International Airport, the world's second busiest cargo airport (following Hong Kong). Memphis serves as a primary hub for FedEx Express shipping.

  • 2019 Education Curriculum Guide
    Tennessee Academic Standards 2019 EDUCATION CURRICULUM GUIDE MEMPHIS IN MAY INTERNATIONAL FESTIVAL Celebrates Memphis in 2019 For the fi rst time in its 43-year history, Memphis in May breaks with tradition to make the City of Memphis and Shelby County the year-long focus of its annual salute. Rather than another country, the 2019 Memphis in May Festival honors Memphis and Shelby County as both celebrate their bicentennials and the start of a new century for the city and county. Memphis has changed the world and will continue to change the world. We are a city of doers, dreamers, and believers. We create, we invent, we experiment; and this year, we invite the world to experience our beautiful home on the banks of the Mississippi River. The Bluff City…Home of the Blues, Soul, and Rock & Roll…a city where “Grit and Grind” are more than our team’s slogan, they’re who we are: determined, passionate, authentic, soulful, unstoppable. With more than a million residents in its metro area, the City of Memphis is a city of authenticity and diversity where everyone is welcomed. While some come because of its reputation as a world-renown incubator of talent grown from its rich musical legacy, Memphis draws many to its leading hospital and research systems, putting Memphis at the leading edge of medical and bioscience innovation. Situated nearly in the middle of the United States at the crossroads of major interstates, rail lines, the world’s second-busiest cargo airport, and the fourth-largest inland port on the Mississippi River, Memphis moves global commerce as the leader in transportation and logistics.

  • The Economic Contributions of Recreational Visitation at Chickasaw National Wildlife Refuge
    The Economic Contributions of Recreational Visitation at Chickasaw National Wildlife Refuge May 2019 Division of Economics U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service This paper establishes the economic contribution baseline for recreational visitation at Chickasaw National Wildlife Refuge (Refuge). The paper addresses the levels of Refuge recreational activities and the economic effects of Refuge recreational activities. The analysis is followed by a glossary of terms. For more information regarding the methodology, please refer to “Banking on Nature – The Economic Contributions to Local Communities of National Wildlife Refuge Visitation” at https://www.fws.gov/economics/divisionpublications/divisionpublications.asp. From an economic perspective, Chickasaw National Wildlife Refuge provides a variety of environmental and natural resource goods and services used by people either directly or indirectly. The use of these goods and services may result in economic effects to both local and state economies. The various services the Refuge provides can be grouped into five broad categories: (1) maintenance and conservation of environmental resources, services and ecological processes; (2) protection of natural resources such as fish, wildlife, and plants; (3) protection of cultural and historical sites and objects; (4) provision of educational and research opportunities; and (5) outdoor and wildlife-related recreation. A comprehensive economic profile of the Refuge would address all applicable economic effects associated with the use of refuge-produced goods and services. However, some of the major contributions of the Refuge to the natural environment, such as watershed protection, maintenance and stabilization of ecological processes, and the enhancement of biodiversity are beyond the scope of this paper. Therefore, this paper focuses on economic effects associated with recreational visitation.

  • 38 the MISSISSIPPI KITE the Eastern Phoebe 22.~ Summer
    38 THE MISSISSIPPI KITE The Eastern Phoebe 22.~ Summer Resident..!E. Mississippi Ben B. Coffey, Jr. Coffey Grounds, 672 N. Beivedere Memphis, Tennessee 38107 The Eastern Phoebe (Sayornis phoebe), as well as several other specie~ has been extending its summer range southward. We have checked on these range expansions as time allows. In the last 40 years we have gone under many bridges to check for Barn Swallow (Hirundo rustica) and phoebe nests ­ possibly up to 300 occasions in Mississippi, 180 in West Tennessee and 120 in eastern and southern Arkansas. Since the Barn Swallow has outstripped the phoebe in this southward extension and its forward edge has been too distant for me to check readily, such field work has been minimal for the last decade or so. Therefore, many of the data presented are for earlier seasons. Also, after going under a certain bridge several seasons with positive results, we later checked the presence of a phoebe and did not go under that bridge. When we mentioned southward extension, we actually seem to have, here on the eastern portion of the immediate Mississippi River plain, local movements from the northeast to southwest. We found the first nest of the Barn Swallow in Shelby County (Memphis), Tennessee, on 25 June 1936, and the first phoebe nest (coincidentally under the same bridge) on 3 May 1947. The first Barn Swallow nest reported for Mississippi (Warriner, Migrant 9:64, 1938) was in a dairy barn near Corinth, 25 May 1938; disregarding the Ship Island population discovered by Mcilhenny (Auk 50:439 and 52:188) about I July 1933.

  • From Civil War Fort to State Park: a History of Fort Pillow
    From Civil War Fort to State Park: A History of Fort Pillow By Colin A. Strickland and Timothy S. Huebner Rhodes Institute for Regional Studies Rhodes College This booklet was produced with support from the Tennessee Civil War National Heritage Area, which receives partial funding from the National Park Service. The Heritage Area is managed by the Center for Historic Preservation at Middle Tennessee State University. [Rhodes Institute Logo] [Heritage Area Logo] 1 Located along the Mississippi River in Lauderdale County, Tennessee, is one of the most controversial battlefields of the American Civil War. On April 12, 1864, 1,500 Confederate troops under General Nathan B. Forrest seized control of the fort from 600 Union soldiers, under the command of Major Lionel F. Booth, in one of the bloodiest assaults of the war. Nearly half of the Union force perished, including the fort’s two ranking officers. Soldiers of the United States Colored Troops (USCT) suffered a stunning casualty rate of 64 percent. The Confederates won the battle that day, but the controversy over what happened and why began almost immediately—and has continued to this day.1 In 1865, Confederate supporters defended the actions of their soldiers. Unionists termed the assault a massacre and Northern Republican politicians successfully cited the massacre as another reason that the United States should take harsher military action against the Confederacy. For newly emancipated African Americans, the words Fort Pillow became a rallying cry for enlistment and raised their determination to fight even more doggedly against the Confederate foe. The U. S. Army even implemented fairer treatment of its black troops in reaction to the deaths and heroism of its soldiers at Fort Pillow.

  • Fort Wright, Tennessee and Camp Brown, Tennessee Patriotic Covers and Lettersheets Conrad L
    Fort Wright, Tennessee and Camp Brown, Tennessee Patriotic Covers and Lettersheets Conrad L. Bush Buried in the papers of a Tennessee family (Haley) which were recently sold as a group at a paper ephemera auction were two very interesting Confederate patriotic covers. Each of the two covers contained the original letter written on previously unrecorded Confederate patriotic lettersheets. Fort Wright, Tennessee Jefferson Davis Medallion Patriotic Cover (JD-1C) Fort Wright (Tennessee) 5c Paid June 1861 The Cover – The envelope is a bi-color (black and red) Jefferson Davis Medallion patriotic cover (Type JD-1C with 11 stars in both the flags and the sunburst) with Verse 53. The lengthy verse on this cover has not previously been listed as used with this Jefferson Davis Medallion patriotic design. The postal markings on the cover are in manuscript “Fort Wright 5c Paid Care of Capt Cross” and addressed to Mr. W. C. Hailey, Adamsville, Tenn. Fort Wright was not a listed Tennessee Confederate post office but was located near Randolph, Tennessee which was the post office that most likely handled the cover. The cover is not dated, but the letter is dated June 25th 1861. The Letter – The original patriotic lettersheet shows a slightly different Jefferson Davis Medallion design (Type JD-1B with seven stars in the flags and 10 stars in the sunburst) in black. The previously unrecorded part of the lettersheet is the “Fort Wright, Randolph, Tenn.” printed slogan which was not known to exist until now. The letter is mostly camp news but has some interesting historical content. FORT WRIGHT Randolph, Tenn., June 25th 1861 Capt Hailey & Family I rec” your kind letter This morning which I read with exquisite pleasure to hear that you are all well I can inform you as usual that I am in the best of health.

E. H. Crump, Mayor of Memphis, was a political boss extraordinary. He controlled Memphis completely for the first half of the twentieth century. Before city governments were reorganized to meet the needs of the growing population, many urban bosses sorted through the political chaos and provided projects for public improvement and care for the poor.
