Thank you, Miki, for taking the time to respond to my query.  I'm 
actually looking to find Sam and Livy's locations on a very specific 
period, when they departed Berlin - which Fears notes as February 29, 
and when they arrived in Merton, March 3 or 4, 1892. Fears makes note of 
two letters in relation to this thousand mile journey: February 21, to 
McClure, and March 21 to Moffett.  The contents of these letters is not 
available on-line. Given Twain's general habits of train travel. he must 
have stopped to rest at least twice on this journey.  If I can get some 
town and/or village names, I can try to guess at the railways the 
Clemenses traveled over.
