On their journey they retraced Mark Twain's travels across America―from Hannibal, Missouri, to Chicago, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, DC, New Orleans, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, and Seattle.

What they learned along the way paints an engaging portrait of the country during this crucial moment of ideological and political upheaval.
