The following outline of A Traveler's Narrative (TN) by 'Abdu'l-Bahá includes topic headings only up to the point where cross-references have been found in The Dawn-Breakers (DB). References for the Bábí history in God Passes By (GPB) are also included.
Although there are a few other anecdotes in the rest of the work (some of which might be contained in God Passes By), much of the rest of the work is not a detailing of sequential events, but is rather a defense of the Faith in demonstrating its nonviolent, apolitical motives. Nevertheless, I believe it could be beneficial to create an outline for the remainder of the text as well (correlating it with God Passes By if possible), if anyone wished to help expand within this outline.
