I wouldn't call this a history book. For the appropriate age group, it is a great novel and a very enthralling story. This is my second time reading this book, I don't think it will ever get old. In response to sbenger's comment, it was published in 1906 so it focuses on Packingtown, Chicago during that time and before, not the 20s.
