pp. 420, b/w illustrations. “” Follow in the footsteps of one of America’s most beloved writers, the immortal Mark Twain, as he circles the globe, performing before dozens of standing-room-only crowds. On July 14, 1895, Samuel Langhorne Clemens, a.k.a. Mark Twain, fifty-nine years old and deeply in debt, boarded a night train from Elmira to Cleveland and launched an unprecedented worldwide performance tour. A superb platform entertainer and an international celebrity, Clemens saw the tour as a quick way to make the money he desperately needed to pay his creditors and recoup his fortune, and so he began a journey that took him across North America to Fiji, Australia, New Zealand, India, Sri Lanka, and South Africa. One hundred years later, American writer Robert Cooper set out from Elmira in pursuit of Twain, following virtually every step of the legendary writer’s itinerary across four continents. “
