I couldn't write that much today due to excess of research. What's the speed of a train in the 1900? Was there a railway in the Florida East Coast back them (there was, unimaginatively called FEC http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_East_Coast_Railway#Bypass_around_Miami). Maybe some writers say to hell with that and, to tell you the truth, most readers don't care whether it takes 2 hours (which would be in the ballpark) or 80, or the name of the road that should be taken. But I care about the details of loading a circus into atrain (flatbeds, actually: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circus_train) and, of course, the name of the Seminole-Cree-Muskogee months http://mvskokecountry.wordpress.com/2010/12/01/december-2010/
