Quickly scanning the list of books I've read over the past twelve years, I think these were all quite good:
John Bailey,
The Lost German Slave Girl: The Extraordinary True Story of Sally Miller and Her Fight for Freedom in Old New Orleans
Fergus Bordewich,
Bound for Canaan: The Underground Railroad and the War for the Soul of America
Julie Fenster,
Ether Day: The Strange Tale of America's Greatest Medical Discovery and the Haunted Men Who Made It
Fawn Brodie,
No Man Knows My History: The Life of Joseph Smith (might be the best on this list, but no eBook
)
P.S. I know you said fiction recommendations, but I don't read historical fiction.
