ROBERT'S ALTERNATE HISTORY PLACE
MY "MUGSHOT"
American by birth
SOUTHERN BY THE GRACE OF GOD!
Hello! My name is Robert Perkins and I would like to welcome you to my personal homepage, devoted to
one of my prime interests, ALTERNATE HISTORY.
What is alternate history, you ask? Well, as Doug Hoff has written...
"Alternate history is speculation, speculation about what might have been had things happened differently.
History is full of forks in the road, and the world we live in is a result of the paths taken in the past.
But it did not have to be that way."
On this site you will find alternate history timelines I have written, as well as links to alternate history websites
that I would highly recommend. Enjoy!
MY TIMELINES
What if the Cleburne Memorial had been released to the press in January 1864?
What if King Arthur had been able to establish a dynasty of strong hereditary High Kings in Britain?
ANCIENT EGYPT SURVIVES TO THE PRESENT DAY
What if Pharaoh Necho II and his successors of the Saite dynasty in Egypt had been able to establish control
over the gold mines of Southern Africa?
What if the Neo-Hittite States of Syria and southern Anatolia had combined into a unified Kingdom?
The Puckle Gun and the Ferguson Rifle lead to a revolution in military equipment in the early 19th century,
resulting in a much bloodier American Civil War.
What if a priest in the ancient Peruvian city of Chan Chan had accidentally discovered gunpowder...about
500 years before the arrival of the Spanish?
What if Rome had been destroyed in 450 B.C. and had never gone on to dominate the Mediterranean world?
WHAT HATH A WARM OVERCOAT WROUGHT?
What if a firm Federal response had been made to Northern efforts to nullify the Fugitive Slave Act and the
Fugitive Slave Clause of the Constitution?
STARS AND BARS FOREVER (OR "EVIL CONFEDERATE WANK")
A very "tongue in cheek" timeline I wrote, as a reaction to various debates I have had with those who feel
the Confederacy is the root of all evil and that if the South won the Civil War, slavery would exist forever.
Okay, so how bad could it have gotten?
WARNING...some viewers may find parts of this
offensive.
A short scenario which explores the question, what if Union General Ambrose Burnside's
pontoon bridges had gotten to Fredericksburg on time?
ANSWERING THE CALL OF LAFAYETTE
What if Napoleon III supported the Union during the Civil War, and as a result,
America intervened in the Franco-Prussian War?
GO
SOUTH YOUNG MAN: PRESIDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN, C.S.A.
What if Thomas Lincoln moved to Mississippi instead of Indiana in 1816, taking his son, young
Abraham Lincoln, with him?
A Star Trek Alternate History Fanfic. What would have happened if the Ferengi tavernkeeper at
Deep Space 9, Quark, his brother Rom, and his nephew Nog had not escaped back to their own time
when they accidentally crash landed outside Roswell, New Mexico, in July 1947?
