For some array of eras and places- and fiction I have found to be very accurate-

A Pillar of Iron.
April Morning.
Anna and the King of Siam.
The Killer Angels.

There are numerous such novels. Here are just a few. I suggest War and Peace (super long, so keep that in mind). Generations of Winter is excellent (also quite long). Zola's Germinal is interesting.
