I can't think of any examples of steampunk that whitewashes real world history*. I can think of plenty of historical novels (and TV shows) without SF or fantasy elements that do that.*Unless you count Queen Victoria and the Holy Grail, a 1985 adventure for Golden Heroes in which Queen Victoria is awakened from cryogenic deep freeze in order to protect the Holy Grail from Morgan Le Fey (who changes into a dragon in the climactic confrontation)?It must of been difficult for those in protected jobs. My mum's big brother was on active service with the Desert Rats. He was a truck driver in the catering corps but still managed to get shot in the backside. I assume he was prone at the time.</blockquote>
