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)
“Religious literature has eminent examples, and if we run over our private list of poets, critics, philanthropists and philosophers, we shall find them infected with this dropsy and elephantiasis, which we ought to have tapped.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“When the characters are really alive before their author, the latter does nothing but follow them in their action, in their words, in the situations which they suggest to him.”
—Luigi Pirandello (1867–1936)
