Very cool, but do you have a chronological list? I want to create something I can just "flip through" to quickly find where he was when. Perhaps the "title page" would just be the textual list, followed by a map with a pushpin for each significant location. - B. Clay Shannon

I already have all those locations mapped in both of my Mark Twain
Gazetters, and a lot more:  http://bscottholmes.com/twain-gazetteer
http://twainsgeography.com/gazetteer
The Twainsgeogrpahy gazetteer doesn't have the Twain-Cable locations
yet, however.


It's not Powerpoint, of course, but you're welcome to make screen shots
of the maps.
