World Tour Begins
Samuel L. Clemens, aka “Mark Twain”, was a traveler, a man of the world. His best selling book, “The Innocents Abroad”, was a travelogue of sorts. He coined the phrase “The Gilded Age”, using it for the title of his first novel, a time of great disparity in wealth in the United States, as well as the rest of the world. But Twain, too, had a taste for the “good life” and strove to acquire wealth. He married into wealth. He married for love as well, to be fair to all parties. His desire for wealth was not aimed at merely accumulating.
