I've become dissatisfied with the primary index to the Twain's Geography site. It was initially conceived as a series of geography lessons based on his travel books. Unfortunately for this approach his traveling is poorly reflected in his books. No criticism of his books is meant, merely that he is not chronological and frequently given to hyperbole and downright lies. I've decided on 22 epochs that seem to define Twain's wanderlust and each of these epochs have a portion of the time line. I would appreciate any criticism, suggestions and contributions. To restate my underlying motive for this site, I hope to use Twain as a guide through time and space to illustrate the historical geography of the world he lived in. As Lewis Lapham wrote /*The seventy-five years of Twain's life (1835-1910) ran in parallel with America's transformation from an agrarian democracy into an industrial oligarchy. */ This phenomena is not limited to America but was/is global. In his time this was particularly true of the British Empire - where most of his global travel took place. https://twainsgeography.com/epochs Don't think of this as in any way a complete feature. It contains links only to that material I have already included in the site.
