R. L. Stevenson's "The Master of Ballantrae" starts during the 45, although it's not the focus. |

The Outlander series. The second book is the best and the 3rd on are garbage. But they are effectively romance novels so watch out. |

I think there is an untapped reservoir of historical novels written around the turn of the 19th-20th century. I once found a series of adventures set in the French-Indian War. |
