List Of 1632 Characters
This is a list of the many historical characters that appear in over twenty works of Eric Flint's 1632 series. In the fictional world, the arrival of Grantville causes different actions and events to occur after 1632, compared to the non-fiction historical record (the Original Time Line, or OTL). For the most part, historic characters are given believable and logically consistent roles and personality characterizations to match the non-fictional historical record. Some chapters are devoted exclusively to discussions between historical figures or to descriptions of battles like Breitenfield, where Americans are not present.

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list and/or characters:
“Feminism is an entire world view or gestalt, not just a laundry list of women’s issues.”
—Charlotte Bunch (b. 1944)
“We saw the machinery where murderers are now executed. Seven have been executed. The plan is better than the old one. It is quietly done. Only a few, at the most about thirty or forty, can witness [an execution]. It excites nobody outside of the list permitted to attend. I think the time for capital punishment has passed. I would abolish it. But while it lasts this is the best mode.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“The naturalistic literature of this country has reached such a state that no family of characters is considered true to life which does not include at least two hypochondriacs, one sadist, and one old man who spills food down the front of his vest.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
