I finished a book on Sunday set in the early 1800s, and about halfway through a scene about Napoleon coming back from exile, I caught myself expecting a mention of the British Aerial Corps and how Temeraire and Capt. Laurence were going to swoop in and defeat him. The novel I was reading does NOT have dragons, but dragons will be forever linked with Napoleon now.
Dragons make history fun.

Now I want there to be a series of mostly non-fiction history books but with dragons added at critical moments. Currently I’m envisioning a somewhat different Washington Crossing the Delaware.

I totally agree. I’m in the middle of volume 8 right now, attempting to escape Japan. 9 is already loaded on my Kindle.
Imagining Dragoning
I think I’m about 10 pages ahead of you, Dad. Don’t want it all to end!

Paul Revere’s Ride – he was totally being chased by a dragon. And Atlanta was burned by fire-breathing dragons. This is the best.
Dad and Corey – keep your spoilers to yourselves! I need to get book 8 from the library.
