I have attempted a bit of an essay on Cairo, Illinois, prompted by some 
feedback I received on my Twain's Geography entry for this location.  Of 
particular interest to Twain enthusiasts is the relationship between 
Charles Dickens and Mark Twain. https://bscottholmes.com/node/1902  I'm 
not sure what I want to do with this so I posted it to my personal website.
