Esmeralda Rupp-Spangle
Esmeralda Rupp-Spangle asked Diana Gabaldon:

Hi Diana! I have a head scratcher that only you can answer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Mackenzie_%28explorer%29 Alexander Mackenzie, who lived in the 17-1800s, happened to travel with a Mr. Beauchamp, and who made camp at a Fraser river. A remarkable coincidence? or, more likely, you being a historian by trade, a reference to a noteworthy quest?

Sooty
Sooty asked Diana Gabaldon:

Hi Diana. Claire and Brianna have very strong, gutsy personalities which make them hugely inspiring as well as enjoyable to read about. Do you find that their reactions to the situations you place them in come easily to you, or are you often faced with a dilemma/have to struggle to decide how they should act?

A Goodreads user
A Goodreads user asked Diana Gabaldon:

Have you ever been to or spent any time in the North Carolina Mountains?
