I would say that this sounds like a great idea for a novel, and then I remembered that Orson Scott Card already wrote Pastwatch :)

What's GGS? Only found Guns, Germs, and Steel in that context, is that the one?

Oh, that's good to know, though I'd love to see someone other than Card take a swing at it.

You got it!

Yeah, it's exactly what you would expect someone like Card to write, but if you go into it knowing the views of its author, it almost becomes like a parody of his politics and becomes quite an enjoyable read on "I wonder how many crazy reasons he's going to bring up why Columbus was actually a hero".
