I have an idea for TL regarding Jerome Napoleon "Bo" Bonaparte, son of Jerome Bonaparte and Emily Patterson. My idea derives from Shannon Selin's book "Napoleon in America" to a certain extent.

Basically, in the presumed TL Jerome-junior will try to live up to his uncle's glory. At some point in 1820s he may gather a small army of former French officers, American adventurers and Indian mercenaries in order to establish himself in rebellious Mexico, Chile or even Texas, though the latter would be a direct borrowing from Selin's novel. His grandfather (William Patterson) was on of the richest men in the USA and can provide money and certain political cover.

He may employ Thomas Cochrane as a navy leader (most skilled gentleman) and such French exiles Lefebvres-Desnouettes (brilliant cavalry officer), the Lallemand brothers.

So what do you think, guys? Is that plausible?

In case anybody is interested in co-authorship, write to my personal messages. English is not my native language and I may be a be short of time. So having a partner would be very useful.
