Perhaps also of interest: "Mark Twain on the Platform," an exhibit that lists and maps lecture locations for four decades, including 1895-96.

(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.) http://www.marktwainproject.org/simile/platform/ Best, Sharon On Mon, Aug 25, 2014 at 7:20 PM, Scott Holmes <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Mark Twain set off on his Following the Equator tour with a number of > lectures across the North American continent, both US and Canadian > stops.
