Grantville, West Virginia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Grantville is a fictional town modeled after the real town of Mannington, West Virginia which is the source of resources, technology, and above all up-timer protagonists in the best selling alternate history books by historian-author-creator and editor Eric Flint. The book series, now numbering in the double-digits, has grown astonishingly fast since the lead novel 1632 was published in hardcover in February 2000 because in part it evolved to become a large experiment in collaborative fiction under Flint's guidance. (See: 1632 Editorial Board for additional information.)
