Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Townmania: Marcus Winchester and the Making of Memphis tells the forgotten story of the man who transformed a frontier settlement on a Mississippi River bluff into the thriving city of Memphis. This first full-length biography of Memphis's founding father explores ambition, race, politics,…and identity in early Tennessee, uncovering a chapter of Southern history that shaped the nation.Marcus Winchester (1796-1856) devoted his life to transforming the small settlement on the fourth Chickasaw bluff into a thriving center of transportation, commerce, and industry that became Memphis. Sent there at Andrew Jackson's request while still barely out of his teens, Winchester went on to become the city's first real estate agent, mayor, store owner, banker, postmaster, and one-man chamber of commerce. His leadership helped establish Memphis as the westernmost outpost of American expansion along the Mississippi River and laid the foundation for its later emergence as one of the South's most important commercial cities.He championed critical infrastructure projects that connected the frontier town to the wider world: a stagecoach line, a regular ferry crossing, major roads stretching east and west, and the first railroad tracks laid in the Midsouth. It was also Winchester who led the creation of Memphis's first bank and first newspaper.Despite his accomplishments, Winchester and his family endured relentless attacks because his wife, Amarante Loiselle, was a free woman of color at a time when the debate over slavery had become increasingly polarized-and deadly. Forced to move his wife and children outside the very community he had built, Winchester experienced firsthand the peril of challenging entrenched social boundaries.Winchester's story intersects with many of the most significant events and figures of the antebellum South. Captured as a boy by the British during the War of 1812, he later stood with Andrew Jackson during treaty negotiations with the Chickasaw, championed David Crockett's congressional campaigns, assisted Frances Wright in building Nashoba, her utopian commune on the Wolf River, and watched with sadness as Native Americans were ferried across the Mississippi River on the Trail of Tears. He befriended James K. Polk and served as John Overton's agent in Memphis as Overton fought for the young city's rightful place in state politics.This meticulously researched biography unearths the fascinating story of Marcus Winchester while bringing to life the struggles and triumphs of some of Memphis's earliest residents. As Americans across the young nation grappled with what sort of country the United States would become, these early settlers transformed the untamed frontier on a Mississippi River bluff into a thriving metropolis. "The best account of Marcus and Amarante Winchester I have ever read. Deeply researched and compellingly told, this book presents early Memphis in its full historical context." -Carroll Van West, Tennessee State Historian This item is printed on demand.
