Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
After the West Virginia town of Grantville was unceremoniously hurled backthrough time to the 1630s, the seventeenth century would never be the same.Teenage capitalist girls have formed an investment group; a linotype operator,whose profession was wiped out by computers, finds a new life in an old century;a narrow gauge railroad, with a sit-down mower doubling as a locomotive,revolutionizes military transportation; the proud tradition of the U.S. Marinesis started ahead of schedule among downtime Europeans; and what will the mastermusicians and composers of the pre-Bach era make of heavy metal sounds? On amore personal level, two young lovers celebrate Christmas in a strange land andtime, a skilled blacksmith clashes with his guild, and a woman loses her husbandin an industrial accident and decides to leave Grantville. Plus factual articleson the problems of beginning an oil industry, building a machine gun, orstarting up the manufacture of textiles centuries ahead of their time. All thisand more in a new and absolutely indispensable volume for the many followers ofthe 1632 series.
