I'm hoping someone might have some information on just how Sam traveled from Greenville (Shenango) to Sharon, PA for his lecture there. There were, to the best of my knowledge, no railroads in Sharon until October of 1869. There is only one mention of Sharon in his letters at that time, to Mary Fairbanks. I must go off to work now, but there might be something involving the canal. -- /Unaffiliated Geographer and Twain aficionado/
