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:
“Do your children view themselves as successes or failures? Are they being encouraged to be inquisitive or passive? Are they afraid to challenge authority and to question assumptions? Do they feel comfortable adapting to change? Are they easily discouraged if they cannot arrive at a solution to a problem? The answers to those questions will give you a better appraisal of their education than any list of courses, grades, or test scores.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“Shea—they call him Scholar Jack—
Went down the list of the dead.
Officers, seamen, gunners, marines,
The crews of the gig and yawl,
The bearded man and the lad in his teens,
Carpenters, coal-passers—all.”
—Joseph I. C. Clarke (1846–1925)
“We are like travellers using the cinders of a volcano to roast their eggs. Whilst we see that it always stands ready to clothe what we would say, we cannot avoid the question whether the characters are not significant of themselves.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
