Program Outline 1A - Updated Dec 10, 2010

I've begun to order my thoughts. It's linear. Very unlike Twain's recently published autobiography. The outline is my script. I've already begun to shoot "B roll" based on my original concept. But the outline is where I begin to construct the fabric of each chapter. As you can see I've a lot of chapters to research. That said, the outline will undergo many changes as I construct the story of Twain's final two years. I also plan to interview people who own pieces of Twain's property today. They are part of Redding as was Twain. They have much to add to my story of the Redding Mark Twain. (I will be updating this list from time to time and it will appear in future blogs). *First Introduction Twain's family 21 Fifth to Grand central Grand central to Redding Redding to Stormfield Welcome to Redding Dan Beard and friends Who is Albert Paine/autobiography Isabel Lyon (quick history to June 1908) Stormfield: the house and grounds (Howells-Architect-NewYork/Sunderland-Builder-Danbury) That first summer (the angelfish) This train stops in Redding on its way to the Berkshire's The Guests 1908 The Burglary September 18, 1908 "Innocence" becomes "Stormfield" The Pubic Library *Second Introduction Jean Clemens Clara Clemens Close Friends Managing the house The Lobster pot The walks (various) William Dean Howells (Stormfield) Angelfish Elephant Christmas 1908 The Guests 1909 Hellen Keller January Jean arrives (April 1909) Isabel and Ashcroft HH Rogers Isabel dismissed April 15 1909 Jean returns April 26 1909 Death of Henry Rogers May 19 1909 Edison Film Paine moves into Stormfield Markland (today) Lobster pot (today) October wedding Bermuda Jean’s death Final entry in the autobiography 1910 Bermuda The End of a writer's life Last journey to New York The estate and probate Twain's biographer's Isabel Lyon Clara and her daughter The Mark Twain Library Redding 100 or so years later/Mark Twain Lane dinner
