They went back and forth from her house to Olive Branch on Saturday and Sunday. On Monday, it was time to leave, but first Laura wanted to show James famous downtown Memphis. They walked down Beale Street and saw the Pyramid and Peabody Hotel, famous for the ducks that live in a penthouse on the roof. They also saw the Memphis Bridge, the largest illuminated letter in the world. They did not see Graceland or Elvis for that matter, but decided to explore some of the parks. The first park they went to was Nathan Bedford Forrest Park. Nathan Bedford Forrest was the general of a Confederate militia group during the Civil War, although he had no formal military training. He became a multimillionaire through a business in slave trading. He was buried at Elmwood Cemetery but in 1905, he and his wife were moved to what is today Forrest Park.
