Northwest Road|Jefferson to Memphis in "Two Soldiers" (Location)

On the road to Memphis the narrator notes"all the towns" he sees along the way, and the places that punctuate the landscape like "a patch of stores," "water tanks and smokestacks," "gins and sawmills" (92). The boy leaves Memphis later in the day by the same route: "first thing I knowed, we was back on the same highway the bus run on this morning" (99).
