A good author of historical novels is James A. Michener.  He likes to tell
a story in great depth, starting at the "beginning" and going up to the
present day.  Some examples:

	Hawaii (sp?)	--- history of Hawaii
	Chesapeake	--- the Chesapeake bay area
	The Source	--- Palestine/Fertile Crescent, up to Modern Israel

as well as others.  Apparently just about all his novels are in this vain.
They are very good reading.  I found it very hard to put down any of his books
that I've read, while I was reading them.

All opinions are my own, please don't flame just if you disagree.....
