Folks; I'm being asked whether any scholar has totaled up the (approximate) number of miles that MT covered in his lifetime? Mississippi, east-west travels in America, the 29 crossings of the Atlantic, the round-the-world trip? Is there any such total -- or even guesstimate -- by an intrepid scholar out there?? -hb Dr. Hal Bush Dept. of English Saint Louis University [log in to unmask] 314-977-3616 http://halbush.com author website: halbush.com
