I'm not a history buff. I don't even generally enjoy it. But I'm trying this fictionalized account of American history by Jeffry Hepple:

It's interesting. BUT. I don't generally like these things so I can't guarantee I will stick with it. I once read a fictionalized account of Crazy Horse (an American Indian) by Win Blevins. Very good. Still. The truth is I tend to like much more fictional fiction. It's like the newish trend to retell fairy tales (Jim C. Hines and the princess series. Mercedes Lackey also did a series of retelling.) There's this part of me that always feels like I have read the story. And I know the ending...
