I have been adding the Day By Day indices to Twain’s Geography and have 
come across what looks like a problem. The entry for March 10, 1881 has 
Sam speaking at the “African Church”. In parenthesis is (A.M.E. Zion 
Church, Pearl St., Hfd.). The Wikipedia article for this church states 
that it “has since 1926 been the home to the city's oldest 
African-American congregation,”. This is much later than 1881. Digging 
around I found that there was another church in Hartford that looks more 
likely to me, the Talcott Street Congregational Church. I would 
appreciate any information on this. I mapped the Zion Church but I don’t 
feel comfortable about it.
