A single-page wood engraving from Harper's Weekly showing the levee at Memphis, Tennessee, during the Civil War. Horse-drawn wagons haul cotton bales and hogsheads of sugar along the riverfront, which is lined with brick commercial buildings and signs, as the goods are brought out of hiding for shipment north. The caption credits the sketch to Mr. Alex. Simplot and refers readers to page 423 for the accompanying text.
