Steam Patriots a Kickstarter

Posted by KJ Tuesday, October 16, 2012 Labels: fiction, history, website

This is an interesting project.
A book about the American Revolutionary War with a decidedly Steampunk twist.  Now of course the American Revolution was 18th century not 19th so perhaps not quite "the thing" for us Quasi Victorians, but it still looks like it could be a fascinating tale.

Check out the blog on their project and kickstarter here:
Steam Patriots

They have some interesting illustrations to go with it, here is a couple of examples of Ben Franklin by Patrick Arrasmith
