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:
“Love’s boat has been shattered against the life of everyday. You and I are quits, and it’s useless to draw up a list of mutual hurts, sorrows, and pains.”
—Vladimir Mayakovsky (1893–1930)
“Every morning I woke in dread, waiting for the day nurse to go on her rounds and announce from the list of names in her hand whether or not I was for shock treatment, the new and fashionable means of quieting people and of making them realize that orders are to be obeyed and floors are to be polished without anyone protesting and faces are to be made to be fixed into smiles and weeping is a crime.”
—Janet Frame (b. 1924)
“Philosophy is written in this grand book—I mean the universe—
which stands continually open to our gaze, but it cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and interpret the characters in which it is written. It is written in the language of mathematics, and its characters are triangles, circles, and other geometrical figures, without which it is humanly impossible to understand a single word of it.”
—Galileo Galilei (1564–1642)
