This section of the archive is devoted to notes and documents from my excursion to Memphis to gather information on the few months that Gardner stayed there in 1947. What I found, interestingly enough, was a branch of the Gardner family brought to America via Gardner's younger brother whom Gerald calls "Douglas" in the Bracelin biography. For more information about the Gardner family in Memphis, see the essay that covers Gardner's life from 1946 to 1949.
