Gore Vidal describes his entire set of historical accounts as "historical
fiction" where most of the facts are true but conversations and other items
no one could possibly know had to be invented.  I suppose they could be
considered non-fiction novel except that Vidal never inserts himself into
the story.

Chris,

Would you consider Vidal's Burr and 1876 examples of the form? They're what
I thought of.
