Historical Characters Who Lived Longer Than in OTL

This entry lists all of the historical figures Harry Turtledove has used as characters in his alternate history works who had longer lifespans than in OTL. In most instances, the person lived years or even decades long than they did in OTL (for instance, George Armstrong Custer died in 1876 in OTL whereas he died in 1930 in Southern Victory), but some lived a few extra months at most. Turtledove does not always depict the deaths of historical characters, particularly those who play a minor role in a work. Their deaths may be estimates based on the in-text clues of a work. Others are explicitly still alive at the end of a given story, novel, or series, and this fact is noted accordingly.
