I also would like to sugget Jane Kirkpartick.  She has written 15 historical novel, most set in the Northwest and based on actual people usuallly women.  Her last series was based on the old Aurora colony which included a nonfiction quilt book.  Her current series is based on her grandmother who was an early photographer.  I love reading her books becased she brings history alive and relivant to our lives.  Her intense research shows in her historical accuracy.
