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.
