Um, historical fiction is fiction set in a particular historical period... while the details in the life of a particular characer (or historical personage who is being utilized as a character) may not be entirely accurate, attention is paid to the general detail of the time (if you will)... the prevailing mores, social currents, technologies available at the time in that region, etc., as well as keeping by and large to the known facts of that person's life....

And yes, Support Your Local Sheriff is a very enjoyable film....
