My name is Caroline Mitchell Carrico. I’m a writer and editor living in my hometown of Memphis, Tennessee. I’m a professional historian who has worked in Memphis’s cultural sector for over 14 years, and I love sharing Memphians’ unique stories.
I’m currently working on my first novel, a middle grades book inspired by a conversation with my kids.

I read your interesting article on Joseph W Martin, the missing cotton broker. The article ends with a promised part 2, but I can’t find it anywhere. Did you finish part 2 and is it available?
Thanks, Wayne
Hi Wayne, I haven’t finished Part 2. I wrote the first part for StoryBoard Memphis, but my tenure there ended before I could write the second article. I’ve got the research and hope to finish it one day. When I do, I’ll send you an email! Best, Caroline
