Perhaps also of interest: "Mark Twain on the Platform," an exhibit that
lists and maps lecture locations for four decades, including 1895-96.
Unlike the Google map, it doesn't require the viewer to sign into a Google
account. (For my part I cannot view Scott Holmes's map because Google Apps
for Education, which underlies my employer's email service, authenticates
users differently somehow.)
