Merrill, I think the answer to the problem would be
to have a catagory of historical fiction. When I have
a book that falls into that category I check both the
Literature and the History categories, and I put in
the synopsis that it's historical fiction. I love
historical fiction -- usually the historical facts are
accurate (from what I know about the place and time
and from research I sometimes do when I'm reading to
check), and I remember the history better than when I
read straight history.
