![]() Unfortunately, for as much as I was able to learn (and then share) about history, I knew very little about the craft of fiction. He, I decided, would be my eyes and ears a conduit to the past to share a story with readers from the present. Dakota War and Alfred was my vehicle for doing so. As a historian, it was my goal to share the history of the U.S. Alfred and his father are in fact real historical figures, but little is known of Alfred, and he fit well into the narrative I wanted to tell-a narrative of the U.S. Next week we are going to be talking about the Confidante Character.The first fictional character I ever conjured up was Alfred Riggs, the twenty-four-year-old son of a well-known missionary named Stephen Riggs. That’s all that I have for you this week. (This post by Daily Writing Tips has some good tips for unpacking some of the different stock character types.)
