Books by Lucia St. Clair Robson are fiction, but she includes so much detail - very well-researched, too - that you come away with not just a good story, but knowing a lot about how a group lived or an incident out of history. My favorite was Ride the Wind, which tells the story of Cynthia Parker. She was taken by the Comanche when she was five and lived with them until she was "rescued" as an adult. She was the mother of Quannah Parker, a famous Comanche leader. Her descriptions of the Comanche way of life are awesome.
