“The March” by E L Doctorow tells the story of General Sherman’s march to the sea from Atlanta during the civil war. Excellent writer and an interesting story.

C.S. Forester’s *Hornblower* series. You’ll learn more than you thought there was to know about sailing warships and the Napoleonic wars. Read them in internal chronological order, starting with *Mr. Midshipman Hornblower*.

The Lymond Chronicles by Dorothy Dunnett. Set in the mid-16th century. Set in Scotland, England, France Russia, Malta and Constantinople.
The author is known for her meticulous research.

So *Time and Again* by Jack Finney is a time travel book and as such it is definitely not accurate historical fiction, but the man spends half the time describing late 19th century New York City in agonizing detail.
That was the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw this post.
