Answer 4

I'm not going to try to type 100 names, but a couple of the lists that have been written include authors who are NOT Americans. This list http://www.readliterature.com/american.htm has Americans or people who became American citizens. (see the bottom of the page for reference http://www.readliterature.com/american.htm#pgfId-foot3 )

I will add to the list on the site I referenced, Louisa May Alcott's Little Women and Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell. I'm sure there are others I'm forgetting.
