Sounds like the basic plot for the movie Beastmaster.
I'm starting S.M. Stirling's Island In The Sea of Time, in which the island of Nantuckett gets transported back to 1350 B.C. I was wondering how many more books like this exist. There's Eric Flint's Ring of Fire books, there's the Lost Regiment series (I keep forgetting the author's name), and Stirling's trilogy. I like these type of books. How many more books are out there that I haven't heard of? Does anyone know? There is a book called 1786 (I believe) where a town in Virginia is transported back to that year. I also read a book years ago called Remember the Alamo! where a group of soldiers goes back to the Alamo to try and win the battle for Texas... Don't know about 1786, but there's the book 1632 and 1633, written by Eric Flint. Also, I asked the question about the Alamo book a few months ago, and am currently looking for that trilogy (Remember the Alamo, Remember Gettysburg and Remember Little Big Horn). I was talking more about people displaced through time and/or space, like the earlier examples I listed.
