Now the thing is,before Damon began his jaunt in time,
he'd given that book in the Library
a careful 2nd look.
"Prince Damon Nemo July 7th 1785 -March 23 1884
ruler of Neptunia and inspiration for Jules Vernes
"20,000 Legues Under the Sea.Brokered the peace between the warring
States after a dying President Abraham Lincoln made his
dearest friend ( now the King of Neptunia ) promised on Lincoln's deathbed that King Damon would end the War between the States"
So that picture in the book was actually an reproduction of a original
tintype photograph.
Which meant Damon knew that Prince Damon wasn't going to be building any futuristic submarine in the decade to come if he was a frog
in a bottle in this decade.
Before Damon could do much,he was grabbed from behind roughly and turned around,and he found himself facing Napoleon Bonaparte,who didn't
look to pleased to have this interloper meddle up HIS plans to take over Europe.
There were a half dozen or so blue uniformed French sharpshooters
aiming their flintlocks at Damons chest.
