If you're looking for some quick and easy reading fiction, I enjoyed JB Manheim's six-book series - The Deadball Files. All of the books take some liberties with actual historic deadball era events and were a fun excursion from what I usually read. You don't have to read them in order but they do fit well together. The last book was a bit disjointed so it's probably best that the series ended.
They're on amazon, etc and here's a
direct link to the author's site that offers some additional color on the series.
