It was very well done and at least for me snuck up on me; since all but McKinley and FDR died following a first term election I didn't immediately register it as falling with the curse since they were both second term elections for Grasso and Van de Kamp.

Great timeline; I just realized the Curse of Tippecanoe is still...nope won't make that pun, it's still present here. Was that something that was planned, noticed and then ran with, or a happy accident?

Getting back into AltHist again

I've been thinking of doing a no 9/11 timeline for awhile now, but a major sticking point continues to be how to prevent the attack from taking place. Now I am realistic enough to know that, outside of ASB, it's not going to be stopped that Tuesday morning, but I would like some board thought...

Had to catch up on all your updates Ed, but all I can say is that I love what I've read, especially Cromwell and the Devil - nice tale. What gave you the idea for it?

Sorta suprised none have mentioned this one yet, but what about horse racing? Very popular in the day, and still somewhat popular now (though mostly for the common public it's come down to just the Triple Crown pursuit in the United States). In such a split using OTL's US Triple Crown, you would...

So a question that I've had in my mind for the past few days: whether OTL, the world of Decades of Darkness, or other TLs and adventures, what reasons would need to exist or what events would need to take place in order for the United Kingdom to give up the Maritimes, either to the United States...

So Spain, France, and the Netherlands in no particular order then, I see. I agree completely with other points that have been brought up, especially Old England vs. New England. Imagine the horror in London at, say, at the same time an agreement has been made to leave the Netherlands alone word...

Not being very familiar with this period of time at all, what possible areas does Britain have at expansion in regards to an aggresive foreign policy following the end of domestic struggles? Is there much of a difference in regards to what parts of the globe would be targeted depending on who...

True, but at least for me there is still something interesting about the concept of "diminished descendents", so to speak. I remember being told that we somehow relate to Polish royalty if you go back far enough, which was always worth a laugh but I really have no clue. The ideal that you could...

Great update as always Ed, and while I'm happy to be heading back to North America soon, this: has me intrigued about just what has become of the Prophetess, and perhaps more importantly her son. I do also wonder, how does the rest of Europe view the events taking place in Britain, as well...

Excerpt from “Young Washington” by James C. Randolph (Richmond: Tidewater, 1998) While he would gain fame and have success in his later military career, the first true military adventure for Washington started rough and proceeded to only get worse. Before even entering the field he suffered...

Now that his tale is at an end, wonderful work with the Prophet, especially the lack of remains at the end. Now if that doesn't convince the unbeliever to the truthfulness of his cause, I don't know what will! :D I also liked the interconnection between some of your viewpoint characters, in...

Not a worry, get to it when you can, I'm just glad to see this up and about again :D. It really is quite interesting seeing how you've had Cromwell play out ITTL so far; I will admit that I've at least read through his Wikipedia entry a few times (sadly no time for better research) and I will...

Glad to see this back up and running Ed, and such a great update too! I'm looking forward to see how you wrap up the civil war in two posts. It will be interesting to see what faultlines develop in New England because of the second round of fighting as well, although with the Netherlands...
