Reginald Bartlett

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Reginald Bartlett is a fictional character in Harry Turtledove's Timeline-191 series of novels.

Bartlett becomes inspired by Woodrow Wilson's speech (being in the crowd himself) and immediately joins the army. He serves on the Roanoke Front but is captured. He escapes with a Confederate Naval Officer by putting on Yankee accents, and goes on to fight until the war's end.

Throughout the 1920s, Bartlett is a staunch opponent of the Freedom Party, an extremist right-wing group in the CSA. He works in a pharmacy throughout this time, and never marries. However, he gets in a fight with a Freedom Party thug, who later returns with some armed accomplices. Bartlett is gunned down while tearing down Freedom Party posters.
