The mystery series by Miriam Grace Monfredo features an upstate NY librarian
who is involved with the early woman's right's movement, abolition, and
various other social movements. Although they are billed as mysteries, they
would appeal to non-mystery fans as well I think, as the history elements
predominate. I second the suggestion of the Margaret Lawrence books as
well.

Author Lucia St. Clair Robson has a few good historical novels out. I
believe some or most of her novels are based on real people and events -
fictionalized accounts.

Fearless; A Novel of Sarah Bowman - Texas, 1845
Mary's Land - Early Maryland (not her best)
Ride the Wind - Texas, 1836 the story of Cynthia Ann Parker (my favorite)

Hmmm, thought she had one in China too, which was why she came to mind, but
it was Japan.

Elizabeth's Chadwick's novels are based on real events. I mean the British
author, not the one who writes Westerns. Her first book was THE WILD HUNT,
and it and all of her other titles give a very gritty up close and personal
view of medieval England.

A Thousand Pieces of Gold by Ruth Lum McCunn is the story of a Chinese
woman who is sold by her family and brought to America. It is based on the
story of a real person, Lalu Nathoy (Polly Bemis).
