"In a moment my hand was on the lever, and I had placed a month between myself and these monsters."
-HG Wells, The Time Machine (London, 1973), 14, pp. 92-93.
"A bullet caromed off metal. Everard had a moment's glimpse of Arkonsky shouting. And then it was all gone and they were on a grassy hill sloping down to the beach. It was two thousand years ago."
-"Delenda East," 7, p. 215.
It is always good to realize how much of Wells there is in his successors. Time Patrol reads like a conceptual sequel to The Time Machine.

Incidentally, prehistoric Nantucket before the Indians adopted agriculture (about 1000 CE, in that area) was mostly scrubby oak-hickory-beech forest≥
