Date:
Sunday, January 1, 1899 to Wednesday, May 1, 1907
Notes:
There is no real way to date these three previous occasions precisely without making a vast series of assumptions about class and gender during this period. Right now the time scale is set from when Mink is 16-24. Arguably it could be set to sooner, though it is unlikely that a younger Mink would have had the financial resources to go to a brothel.
Summary:
The text recounts that Mink had never been to the movies because on the previous three occassions he was in Jefferson he was there with "companions of his age and sex to take the early train to a Memphis brothel" (36).
