A friend asked me why Mark Twain didn't return to California after 1868.  I
have no idea!  I've always been surprised he didn't include California when
he came west and eventually got to Hawaii on his way further.  I'd have
thought he'd want to show things off to his wife and daughter.  I
realize the tour organizer might simply have been in charge of the
bookings.  Does anyone know?
