I'm seeing this:
On this long journey, we meet Sir Richard Francis Burton, Mark Twain, Odysseus, Cyrano de Bergerac, and many others

I don't know what happened but this is the link I should have put there before. This is where the reference to Francis Bacon occurs.

In the first line of the second paragraph of the description of To Your Scattered Bodies Go by Philip Jose Farmer, reference is made to Sir Francis Bacon. It should be Sir Richard Francis Burton. It is Burton, not Bacon, to whom the phrase "the renowned 19th-century explorer" in the description, refers.
Lower down, in the list of characters, Richard Francis Burton is correctly listed.
