Program Description

Event Details

This is a very special presentation developed from several years of research.  The lecture covers a period in the mid 1890’s when Mark Twain and Major James Pond, his business manager, started the author’s world lecture tour. We obtained a diary of his travels in Michigan.  At that time he was also accompanied by his wife and daughter. Old photos and scenes of hotels, steamships, train stations and the St.  Clair Flats are just a few of nearly 100 scenes depicting the days of Mark Twain in Michigan.
