Primitive tribe meets traveller.

Park Soo Jin ๐Ÿšซ
Updated:

I am looking for stories similar to Von Solon's Universe by Feral Lady. Wherein a time traveller or a more technological man is transported or ends up in a primitive world where he rules/live.

Elaborating on primitive society: Anywhere from cave men to Roman era.

Another example of stories similar to what I am looking for are: 1632, ring of fire, spirit quest, Tom's adventure, and Gateway. But, emphasis on Von solon and Gateway. There is another which described early Mexican tribes around California but I have forgotten the name.

Some may say just look up time travel genre, I tried but I am sure there is more out there and what am looking for is very specific to a primitive society.

Thank you!

They are not as far in the past as you have specified, but MattHHelm has a few stories with one or more individuals from 20th or early 21st centuries were transported to the 19th century, just following the War tween the States ...

EB also has some similar with visiting Aussies getting sent to pre-CW time ...

Kraken's Robledo Mtn series ...

You ref'd FL's Spirit Quest ... did you try When in Rome?

Thank you. For some reason your response did not show up until after I posted.

Ernest Bywater. He's a prolific contributor of both stories and contributory comments. Two stories are Will to Survive and Stand in Time.

Depending on what exactly you want from the story, some of cmsix's offerings might fit your bill - John and Argent, for example.

Nowhere Man โ€” a series by Gordon Johnson
This series started as a standalone story about a man stranded naked in what appears to be a stone age world, but the story developed as it went along; there is a rationale behind it all, that slowly emerges. Book One is almost half a million words. There is now a Book Two and a Book Three is planned.

Castaway by Colin Barrett. Modern humans are the primitive tribe ;-)

Stranded in a Foreign Land by Vincent Berg. Ditto.

Since you mentioned the dead tree series 1632 and Gateway, let me suggest the Conrad Stargard series by Leo Frankowski:

https://www.goodreads.com/series/43333-conrad-stargard

The main character is a Polish engineering student who becomes trapped in 13th century Poland and decides to ramp up technology enough that he might survive the upcoming Mongol invasion. While he's waiting he'll take advantage of his newly acquired knighthood to bed as many teenaged girls as he can.

It's a weird series with a lot more wish fulfilment fantasy than you usually see in published works, but the early books move quickly enough that you don't really notice.

@Dicrostonyx

Invid Fan's series 'The Saga of Nowy Poland' sounds mildly similar.

Dead tree:
S.M. Sterling's "Island in the Sea of Time" trilogy. The island of Nantucket is transported by an unknown phenomenon back in time into the Bronze Age circa 1250s BC.

S.M. Sterling's Conquistador. It's really a parallel World story, where the Europeans never conquered the Americas, and there is a "gate" between our California and the alternate California. After WW II a former marine officer accidentally built the "gate" device and secretly gathered a 'band of brothers' to explore this other reality and settle there. Transporting heavy machines etc. through the gate is tricky, 'cause it has a fixed diameter of only a few yards, an Abrams won't fit. Most of all they mistrust the government(s) of our world and struggle to keep the secret.

Conquistador was excellent, although the interaction with dispossessed Indians and Aztecs was secondary to the relationships between the colonists.
Stirling's The Sky People & In The Court of the Crimson Kings reimagine John Carter of Mars / Barsoom and are both excellent. High mechanical tech Earthmen meet Martians who use bio engineered lifeforms for everything from ticket machines to brick laying.

I wouldn't call that primitive.

Todd_d172 has a good short story set among the Anasazi Indians. No white men or time travellers.
