Poul Anderson's Time Patrol stories have something of the same flavour, too, and have been collected in large ebook by Baen. (Not in their free library, but worth buying IMO). He did seem to do his historical research. Some of the stories seem a bit dated by modern standards, but you can almost smell is depictions of past societies.
