i would visit a local library or search the web. maybe ask some elderly people if they have any memories, stories, or myths.

All novels are fiction, so you can just say "novel." Do you mean a non-fiction history? If so, then you read about 200-500 other books on the era and write your own take on it.

History relays only on individual perception and collecting data given by the person who are not involved in the particular situation. please experiment it : go and collect data of a particular incidence. what you have known the actual data . when you interview with the fellow passengers or neighbors they will tell you different stories, but when you en quire the real person he will say different stories on that particular incidence........ Fiction OK you are creating what you like no body care, you are telling this is fiction....
