description: After the West Virginia town of Grantville was unceremoniously hurled back through time to the 1630s the seventeenth century would never be the same. Teenage capitalist girls have formed an investment group; a linotype operator whose profession was wiped out by computers finds a new life in an old century; a narrow gauge railroad with a sit-down mower doubling as a locomotive revolutionizes military transportation; the proud tradition of the U.S. Marines is started ahead of schedule among downtime Europeans; and what will the master musicians and composers of the pre-Bach era make of heavy metal sounds?
